Disappointed

I use EMDR, IFS and psychedelics in therapy. I’ve read extensively about the subject. I was very excited about this book but I was disappointed. The information is very basic and there is too much about IFS and very little about EMDR. There are also many scientifically unproven things about IFS that are presented as truths instead of opinions. I’d skip this one, honestly.
