WHY EMDR

PhD Dr. Mehmet OĞUZ

Let me tell you why I chose EMDR therapy and not why you should have EMDR therapy.

The only reason I went to medical school was to help people unconditionally with the knowledge I had acquired. All doctors start their studies for the same reason and all just want to do something for humanity.

So why psychiatry?

I am no different from any of you, we are not that different from each other. We live in a now ’that is shaped by our trauma. Thanks to my job, I was a little more lucky to know which perceptions are distorted, and to be even more precise which emotions are distorting my thoughts. But it still wasn't enough.
The therapy methods used last too long, are not solution-oriented, and the patient may have had to take medication for their entire life. I was looking for a basic solution.

When I went to Istanbul for EMDR training, everyone told me it was "nonsense", but it was a proven and solution-oriented method with a scientific basis. I went to help more people in less time. Because I was like you, I was like her, I was like all of us, as I faced today's impact of everything I experienced in my childhood, I began to understand you better.

I have never regretted going to EMDR training, I always knew that I have full confidence in my feelings, sometimes I take a path that seems very absurd to everyone, I surprise everyone. I think you have seen this aspect a lot in our therapies. Sometimes we laugh: "What is it now?" This expression makes me incredibly happy.

I cannot explain my feelings to you very clearly, I am your therapist, my mirror, I have to be like a wall, I am not allowed to feel anything.

But I write so that you know, I understand your pain. I chose EMDR therapy and tried to make the most of it because it is results-oriented and short-lived.

I chose EMDR therapy because I don't want you to endure a lot of spiritual suffering in a single day.

I have many certifications, but I chose EMDR therapy because my experience has given me the most permanent results with EMDR therapy.

I decided to have EMDR therapy. Embrace life with four hands, enjoy every moment and see the beauty of a flower when you look at it.

We all have hard times, hand in hand ...

Abide in love and peace, brothers and sisters
