Unburdening Souls at the Speed of Thought: Psychology, Christianity, and the Transforming Power of EMDR

by Andrew J Dobo

Overview

"Unburdening Souls at the Speed of Thought" is about the transformative journey to wholeness that was modeled by Christ and is accelerated by a ground-breaking therapy known as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). You will see an emotionally scarred surfer recover from the ultimate loss, the tragic death of his son. You will learn how dreams and images gave subjects the courage to change careers and enrich their lives. And you will discover how a woman accessed a buried traumatic memory during a therapy session and gained an enduring sense of peace. The process described in psychologist Dr. Andrew J. Dobo's book occurs in six stages, which are mirrored by six moments Christ modeled in his Passion. Psychology and religion collide in the book's incredible tales, which move from despair to hope, hate to love, and fear to contentment. This is a book that will give hope to those suffering mental anguish as they are exposed to a new map of the soul modeled by Christ and shared by psychology. It shows how survivors of trauma can heal and overcome negative beliefs about themselves. It's for those who want to better understand the workings of the soul and for those who do not even imagine such a thing exists. And it will fascinate any reader interested in the power of the mind.

About the Author

Dr. Andrew J. Dobo was first trained in the use of EMDR more than 14 years ago. He has treated hundreds of patients and participated in literally thousands of EMDR sessions in his private psychology practice in Sebastian, Florida. He is a licensed psychologist in Florida. Dr. Dobo is highly credentialed in the use of EMDR. He has a lifelong interest in psychology and religion. In 1977, he read a book that used Jungian theory to interpret the sayings of Jesus. John Sanford's book The Kingdom Within changed his view of Jesus and of psychology. He has been looking at the connections between these two disciplines his entire life. He thought he had nothing new to add to the conversation until he saw that powerful changes wrought by EMDR in his clients paralleled six distinct moments that are modeled in the Christian Passion. "Unburdening Souls at the Speed of Thought" is a narrative nonfiction account of how his clients changed their lives and how their courage changed Dr. Dobo's view of his work, of himself, and of his God.
