Self-administered EMDR: Is it safe?

Question: Beloved Mother Mary, I have self-administered EMDR, which is a therapeutic technique, guided only by a therapist video on YouTube. I have achieved great results with this as my subconscious mind incredibly leads me to clarity and sometimes even closure, so I believe. The only problem is having to deal with mild anxiety, which can disrupt my sleep. Brain spotting is now a branch of EMDR. Is it also a great tool? Is it valuable to use in combination with EMDR? Can these tools be safely and effectively self-administered, despite some anxiety as a side effect? If so, would you still recommend getting help from a professional for better results?

Kim Michaels: And then there is a question that continues with some other system, which I do not know anything about. I do not sense they can comment on that through me at this point. But Mother Mary will comment on the other one.


Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2024 Easter webinar.

The question is whether using the EMDR technique based on a YouTube video is something I recommend. Well, I am not saying it cannot give you results. But if you experience side effects such as anxiety, then you should consider finding a therapist that can help you do this. Because EMDR is not a technique that is meant to be used without being in the context of talk therapy. It should be used by a therapist who has talked to you, who knows you, and who can work with you and see whatever effects come up. In general, I recommend that you do this with a therapist. But this is not to say that you cannot do it yourself, but you need to be careful then. And if you have side effects that are negative, then stop doing it. Of course, I recommend you also use decrees and invocations, especially for spiritual protection in conjunction with any kind of therapy, whether you have a therapist or attempt to do it yourself.
