About our project
The problem we solve: Many depressive people are coping with unresolved trauma. When that trauma is successfully treated the depression lifts. This can take a year in traditional therapy. The majority of people do not have access or cannot afford the therapy they need.
About our solution:
The Se-REM CD brings a mental health solution that is in many ways superior to what many people experience with a therapist. Done in the privacy of their own home, it delivers a surprising degree of trauma relief. The most common reaction, "I've never cried so hard in my life." The CD delivers a degree of mental health benefits that are unprecedented, and at a tiny fraction of the cost of traditional therapy.
Progress to
date:Our greatest challenge is that most people are in disbelief. Only EMDR trained therapists have a notion of how potentially powerful this therapy can be. Even people who are suffering terrible are skeptical, until they use it. For some who have terrible trauma, they have to pause while using it to be able to handle the catharsis. No one can appreciate Se-REM that has not tried it. But if you have no trauma it is merely relaxing. To evaluate its effectiveness, you need to share it with someone who has an unresolved trauma.

Intellectual Property Summary
Therapy techniques cannot be patented. A copyright for the material has been applied for.
Clinical Information
I have not found a University or treatment agency willing to do a clinical study. I am nearly retired and do not have the funds to promote, advertise, or conduct research on this product. It is not self supporting, and will no longer be available if I retire and it cannot support itself through sales. Various bureaucracies have been not penetrable. Profit is not my main motive. I have attempted to give it away through the Red Cross to the city of Orlando, Florida. This product,s adoption can change mental health delivery around the world. I have a Spanish language translation completed, and would like to translate and find voices to perform it in all the world's major languages.
Regulatory Status
I believe Se-REM needs the endorsement of a major mental health research institution. It is so far beyond anyone's expectations of a self help program that it stands alone as one of a kind. You can find bi-lateral music applications, and various self help CD's, but to date, no one has combined as many as 6 different therapy modalities with EMDR to create a program this powerful.
How we will use the funds raised
Marketing and advertising to promote the use of Se-REM among treatment institutions, victim treatment programs, individual therapists, hospice and grief support programs, Military PTSD programs, Police, Fireman and other occupations that regularly are traumatized.
Thank You
Please see the testimonials at Se-REM.com. These are only a tiny sample of over 1,000. clients who have remarkable stories. I have not included the story of a young woman who told me her suicide was inevitable, and was completely changed after one use, or the police crime scene photographer whose retirement was being wrecked by flashes of crime scenes, that disappeared after one use, or the woman with a terrible driving phobia, who was cured of this with one use. Every time I get discouraged I have another person tell me how much this Se-REM program has helped change their life.
