It's for anyone, not just those going through EMDR, as the subtitle points out. The book is not available in most libraries yet since it's so new. My T is going to lend it to me when she's finished with it. Of course that's one book she's eager to read!
I just got this book from the library. A lot of information - i have to read slowly (i.e. read a little, put it down, read a little more, etc.) to absorb the information.

very interesting. a little scary too...

Don't strain yourself,
there is nothing to do or undo.
Whatever momentarily arises
in the body-mind
Has no real importance at all,
has little reality whatsoever.

Don't believe in the reality
of good and bad experiences;
they are today's ephemeral weather,
like rainbows in the sky.
