  In Left for Dead, Eric Jay Dolin—“one of today’s finest writers about ships and the  
  sea” (American Heritage)—tells the true story of a wild and fateful encounter  
  between an American sealing vessel, a shipwrecked British brig, and a British  
  warship in the Falkland archipelago during the War of 1812. 
  Fraught with misunderstandings and mistrust, the incident left three British sailors  
  and two Americans, including the captain of the sealer, Charles H. Barnard,  
  abandoned in the barren, windswept, and inhospitable Falklands for a year and a  
  half. With deft narrative skill and unequaled knowledge of the very pith of the  
  seafaring life, Dolin describes in vivid and harrowing detail the increasingly  
  desperate existence of the castaways during their eighteen-month ordeal—an alltoo-common fate in the Great Age of Sail. 
  A tale of intriguing complexity, with surprising twists and turns throughout— 
  involving greed, lying, bullying, a hostile takeover, stellar leadership, ingenuity,  
  severe privation, endurance, banishment, the great value of a dog, the birth of a  
  baby, a perilous thousand-mile open-ocean journey in a seventeen-foot boat, an  
  improbable rescue mission, and legal battles over a dubious and disgraceful  
  wartime prize—Left for Dead shows individuals in wartime under great duress  
  acting both nobly and atrociously, and offers a unique perspective on a pivotal era  
  in American maritime history. 
  “An absorbing adventure that explores the dark shadows of instinct and self-preservation, and the hardships and stress that stretch the bonds of humanity.  
  Fascinating reading.”—Stephen R. Bown, author of Island of the Blue Foxes:  
  Disaster and Triumph on the World’s Greatest Scientific Expedition

  We all have a natural emotional healing process, just as we do a natural physical healing process within us. When we get a wound, our bodies' natural healing process takes care of it. When emotionally painful events occur in our lives, we usually manage to overcome them and move on with our lives. On the other hand, a cut does not always heal until it has been cleaned and an antibiotic has been applied. Similarly, when something emotionally upsetting occurs, the brain's processing system isn't always able to absorb it and put it into the context of our entire lives without assistance. Sometimes we are completely unaware of what is going on.Although the image of the incident may not come to us consciously, we may feel unworthy, sad, afraid, or nauseous. We may be unaware that we are being swamped with dysfunctionally stored material from the past. We may act in ways we later regret and not wholly comprehend why. The EMDR method recognizes that you aren't reacting on purpose; the triggered memories are at the root of your actions that aren't consistent with who you are now. EMDR can assist the brain's processing system repair emotional wounds in the same way that an antibiotic ointment can help cure a cut. It's still your own internal process conducting the healing; EMDR simply "jump starts" it when it's needed and speeds it up.Once the isolated "land mine" of trauma has been reprocessed using EMDR, it is neutralized, meaning it will no longer go off and flood into the present. It's woven into the fabric of your existence, so it appears to be over and cannot derail you from your current state of bliss.The information appears to be stimulated, and the brain can reprocess the situation due to eye movements or other bilateral stimulation. Eye movements are only a tiny part of EMDR. In processing traumatic memories, current concerns, or future fears, integrates imagery, beliefs, emotions, and physical sensations.
