 "EMDR changed my life. I began EMDR therapy during a nasty divorce, which made it so I was able to deal with the enormous pain and stress of that ordeal. About a year later, I started having seizures. Doctors couldn't figure out what was going on as my health continued to plummet. I reached the point where I couldn't walk without a cane, couldn't speak due to muscle spasms in my throat, and had to wear noise-cancelling headphones so that noises wouldn't trigger my seizures. Eventually, I was diagnosed with non-epileptic seizures, a condition that can only be treated through therapy. Through the efforts of Mitch and his EMDR skills, I went from being helpless and bedridden to being able to walk and speak like normal. While I will never be totally rid of the disorder, the skills and knowledge I got from doing EMDR with Mitch make it so that I can manage my condition so that I can live a normal life, even in the face of devastating losses."

I saw Mitch Barney for 6 months. I originally went in for anger management; I have a she-hulk inside that would flare up unexpectedly. The sessions included EMDR techniques that I have to admit, I was very skeptical about. The first few sessions seemed like hokum, but I kept an open perspective and put my trust in Mitch's guidance. It took a two-hour session to break into my limiting belief that I did not feel safe, pretty much ever. This felt very scary for me to address, I did not like the physical or emotional feelings that came up with it. Mitch guided me through with a caring hand. He let me run the gamut of emotions, time after time, to process the limiting beliefs that I had. His questions guided me to new beliefs, understanding and coping skills. My new normal feels content, which is better than happy, it is that life is manageable and should be enjoyed. I appreciate that Mitch taught me the steps to take care of myself now.

I can honestly say, with no exaggeration whatsoever, that EMDR therapy with Mitchell Barney has completely changed my life.
EMDR is emotionally and physically demanding. It is not a quick or easy fix. You have to go through each step, commit to being honest with yourself, and be willing to use the tools it provides. This therapy holds up a mirror and makes you see yourself as you truly are, which can be terrifying. In short, it is hard work. But it made me whole. I looked in that mirror and used the knowledge it gave me to learn how to live again. EMDR gave me my life back.
