Whilst I was a functional individual who appeared outwardly OK, there were certain issues that were holding me back and I had some wallet-sapping addictions which were affecting me financially as well as emotionally. After having tried other therapies, many of which seemed direction-less and open-ended with no clear benefit, I tried out Joe Kearney and EMDR. I believe his open, trustworthy approach helped the effectiveness of the therapy. I am really impressed at the power of EMDR which I tried sceptically. I am not having any distressing thoughts any more and what used to trigger emotional outbursts doesn't any more. I thank you for all your skilled help and really appreciate the changes that you have brought on in me.
