If you haven’t been living under a rock lately…

you’ve probably seen this everywhere: EMDR therapy.

Prince Harry is using EMDR to cope with his past. Miley Cyrus credits it for her healing. Even Sandra Bullock has opened up about her experience with it.

EMDR is rapidly gaining mainstream attention — but is it truly a miracle, or just another overhyped trend?

As someone who’s worked with multiple therapists on childhood trauma, I’ve spent years searching for effective healing methods. So when I first heard about EMDR, I had to try it.

Some moments felt genuinely transformative. But others left me questioning everything.

In this video, we’ll explore the full truth about EMDR: its origins, the science, the controversy — and yes, the personal stories, including my own.

And what you maybe don't expect: The dark and surprising story of its founder… which almost no one talks about.

So — is EMDR the breakthrough it claims to be? Or is there something deeper beneath the surface?
