Induced After Death Communication (IADC)
Induced After Death Communication (IADC) is a well researched EMDR-based approach which helps the bereaved feel a reduction of sadness and a renewed connection to their deceased loved one.
After Death Communication is a normal and natural human experience, which can happen spontaneously. About 75% of clients who undergo IADC experience an Induced After Death Communication. Clients may perceive their loved one's presence, or messages from them through one or all five senses. All After Death Communication is loving and has been shown to be helpful for the grieving process. The 25% who do not experience an After Death Communication still benefit from the relief of reduced sadness.
​
This approach is best suited for clients who's loved one died at least 6 months prior, so that the full range of grief has been felt in different environments and timelines. There is no limit to the time that has passed, even it has been years.
IADC involves using eye movements or other forms of bi-lateral stimulation while focusing on the core sadness regarding the loss of a loved one. Therapy is scheduled for two 90 minute sessions over two consecutive days.
