EMDR Therapy Books
EMDR is not designed as a self help therapy. It is important to speak to a therapist that has been trained to sufficiently high standards in the technique, and has used it to treat anxiety, panic and phobias before.
It is more complicated than just vaguely waving your hands around in front of your eyes! That said it is a good idea to read up on the therapy before you embark to decide whether or not it's for you. Francine Shapiro, the inventor of EMDR, wrote a great book on the basics of EMDR called EMDR: The Breakthrough Therapy for Overcoming Anxiety, Stress and Trauma
It doesn't really teach you how to do it but gives a lot of evidence
and examples.

The same author, Francine Shapiro, also wrote a more in depth book entitled Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing: Basic Principles, Protocols, and Procedures
In this title she goes into much more detail about the actual
procedures and the book is aimed at therapists, trainees, or those
considering a career change. It looks at the basic procedure and then
examines the common uses such as PTSD, Anxiety and Phobias. It looks
at how EMDR can take you on a journey back through various traumatic
memories and how you can then free yourself of negativity. This is a
very thorough read.
