EMDR and Depression

I have just purchased "EMDR Solutions II" edited by Robin Shapiro. I'm going to post some ideas from the book for the next couple of months. I highly recommend this book for your own EMDR library.

Robin Shapiro states in working with Depression and Mood Disorders
She recommends some physical interventions:
1.  3 grams of omega-3 fish oil ,each day.
2.  Exercise at least 3 times each week.
3.  Reduce depressants: alcohol, drugs, caffeine, sugar, and fatty/high carbohydrate foods.

These 3 interventions are to help improve their mood right away.

Next month - I'll talk about EMDR targets for this issue.
