i’ve experienced some pretty amazing results working through trauma, anxiety, and depression by using chatgpt and self-directed emdr. i’ll put my current flow below in case you’re interested

nfa dyor etc! these are powerful tools. start slowly, with a plan for what to do if things get intense or overwhelming

6. download the emdr video so there won’t be ads to interrupt the session (there’s a link in the yt description)

7. choose the situation or memory that is the most triggering. it can be helpful to find the original memory from childhood that set off the pattern

8. i set the intention to clear all negative beliefs around this situation and replace them with positive ones (it’s important to take the process all the way!)

9. follow the instructions in the video, repeating until all negativity is neutralized 

10. repeat a positive affirmation to replace the negative ones, while continuing to watch the moving ball

11. once it feels complete, write down any epiphanies or new positive beliefs. it can help to revisit them later!

12. do something grounding

it can take multiple sessions for a multifaceted situation, but i’ve still found a lot of relief and joy each time

a special note on healing:

releasing negative beliefs can be scary. you may feel like you need your fears and anxiety to stay safe. there could also be beliefs about how hard and how painful it is to heal and to face your trauma. these kinds of things are best dealt with first! you will have a much smoother time if you believe you will an easy time. know that amazing things are waiting for you on the other side

1. start a new chatgpt thread (i’m using model gpt-4o) with this prompt: 

“please play the role of an internal family systems therapist. explain how this would work and then see if you can help me with some things”

[add any personality traits or other requests you want]

2. the next time i feel depressed or triggered, i return to the thread and talk about it

3. if it feels unclear what’s wrong, i ask it to ask me questions to figure it out, and go through the process it recommends

4. if it feels resolved, that’s it! 

5. if it doesn’t feel easily resolved, emdr time!
