“EDMR is a great therapy for those that want to face certain inward turmoil, make sense of it and find a way to put it away for good. You are given tools to help live your life and combat the negative emotions.”

“Veteran Resilience Project and EMDR therapy made me feel that I was not alone. It has given me back my life. Working with a therapist in EMDR helped me become whole, and my thoughts are more organized. Communicating my pain helped me grow. Thank you.” 

“I had favorably utilized EMDR in my mid-forties. After three successful treatments, my Vietnam triggers were virtually extinguished. I became centered and could engage my life fully and joyfully.

Until recently, when I agreed to be interviewed for the Veterans History Project. I underestimated the resurgence of memories and triggers.

Now, following this EMDR ‘returning’, my life is again centered and properly balanced. Only three sessions allowed this recovery of self. Many thanks!”

Working with the friendly VRP staff, we were able to find me a local therapist to work with.  They kept in touch with me, and made sure my therapy was going well.  My therapist is amazing.  I had kind of given up on therapy, because it was so hard to find someone that would help me.  VRP has changed my life for the better.  Even my family commented that I am doing better.  Thank you VRP for helping to find myself again.”

“EMDR therapy has changed my life. I had tried other therapy for my anxiety and PTSD, but I never felt satisfied. Within a few sessions of EMDR, I could tell there was a huge change in my symptoms. I felt better and more confident, and I was more aware of how I was reacting in certain situations. I am so thankful for the Veteran Resilience Project and the impact they have made on my life.”
