Review
“In this clearly written book, psychologist Fred Friedberg shows both therapists and their clients how to use EMT in a wide variety of situations, from parenting fears to anxiety reactions from fibromyalgia. EMT helps sooth and calm, often very quickly. The beauty of it is that it can be used at any time, not justin a therapist’s office, thus enabling people to become their own therapist. A ‘must read’ for both therapists and people seeking inner peace and relief from paralyzing worry, anxiety, guilt, depression, and physical pain.”
