Healing is possible, and it’s not just for trauma.

Many people know EMDR as a proven treatment for PTSD. But what often surprises people is how effective it can be for so many other challenges:

✔️ Anxiety and panic attacks
✔️ Depression and low self-esteem
✔️ Grief and loss
✔️ Phobias and fears
✔️ Addictions and compulsive behaviours
✔️ Even performance anxiety in work, sports, or public speaking

As a Doctor of Psychotherapy with over 30 years of experience, I’ve seen clients transform their lives through EMDR. It doesn’t just target symptoms — it helps the brain reprocess the root causes that hold us back, freeing us to move forward with clarity and confidence.

If you’ve been searching for EMDR therapy near me or online and want to know how EMDR could help, I’ve written a new article that explains the amazing benefits of EMDR, not just for trauma, but for everyday struggles too.

What will the next generation inherit from us?

We are raising the first children in history whose inner world is shaped as much by algorithms as by parents and teachers. They are growing up in ecosystems optimised for engagement, not wisdom.

The Psychernetic Children’s Charter™ is an initiative to change that.
It’s not a legal document; it’s a moral compass for the AI age.

A shared framework to ensure every child has:

✔ Authentic human mirroring
✔ Time free from algorithmic speed
✔ Digital rights and informed consent
✔ A pathway to emotional and systemic literacy

I’m inviting leaders, educators, designers, policymakers, and parents to help shape it. Your voice will help define the principles we pass on to the Child of Tomorrow.

If we don’t design the psychological architecture of the future, someone else will. Let’s make sure it serves humanity first.

🚨 The future of childhood is being written, but not by us.
Right now, children are being shaped by systems they can’t see.
Algorithms are becoming their teachers.
AI companions are becoming their friends.
The digital mirror is telling them who they are before they’ve had a chance to decide.
We have a choice:
Do we let this happen by default, or do we design the future on purpose?
The Psychernetic Children’s Charter™ is our stand - a declaration of what every child deserves in the age of AI:
✨ Real human presence
✨ Time unoptimised by algorithms
✨ The right to their own data
✨ The freedom to grow into their authentic self
But this can’t be written by one person.
It must be written by all of us.
💬 Add your ideas here → https://psychernetics.ai
Let’s make this a global statement for the Child of Tomorrow - before it’s too late.

COMING SOON: Unmachine Your Mind: Why You Must Think Differently Before AI Does It for You

Join the Waitlist - Receive exclusive chapter previews and free early extracts - Be notified when the book launches

We are living through a cognitive revolution. Artificial intelligence is not just changing what we do - it’s changing how we think.

Unmachine Your Mind is a powerful new book by Dr Tom Barber that explores the psychological cost of living in a machine-optimised world. From information overload and fractured attention, to the rise of synthetic selves and emotional simulation, this book asks the question no algorithm can answer for you:

Who are you becoming in the age of AI?

Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience, ancient wisdom, and decades of therapeutic practice, Dr Barber introduces Psychernetics, a revolutionary system for reclaiming your cognitive freedom. This is not another book about technology. It’s a book about you. About your memory, your identity, your depth, your agency, your soul.

Inside, you’ll discover:
• Why thinking is being outsourced to systems you didn’t choose
• How AI is reshaping childhood, creativity, and consciousness itself
• The difference between knowledge and wisdom, and why one is vanishing
• How trauma, emotion, and embodiment hold the key to real intelligence
• Why neurodivergent minds may be the future’s greatest cognitive asset
• And how to build your own Co-Pilot - an internal intelligence system for navigating the world ahead

This book is a mirror. A warning. And a map.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, disconnected, or quietly afraid that the future is racing ahead without your consent, this is your call to pause. To think deeper. And to unmachine your mind before the machines do it for you.

If you’re living with the effects of trauma, whether from a recent event or something buried in the past, it’s possible to feel whole again. Trauma can affect every aspect of your life, from your relationships and confidence to your physical health and ability to cope day-to-day. Yet many people carry these emotional wounds silently, believing they must simply ‘get on with it.’

Heal from trauma with EMDR therapy online or in person. Specialist support from an experienced psychotherapist. Private, effective, discreet.

My upcoming book …

PSYCHERNETICS - Rewiring the Human Mind For The Age Of Artificial Intelligence

The question is not whether machines can think, but whether humans will still choose to.”
– Psychernetics™ Principle

Psychernetics is not just a book – it is a new psychological system for a radically changing world.

As artificial intelligence becomes deeply embedded in our lives, shaping how we work, think, feel, and relate - the question we now face is not whether machines can think, but whether humans will still choose to.

In this groundbreaking book, psychotherapist and systems thinker Dr Tom Barber introduces Psychernetics™, a transformative framework designed to help us reclaim our inner architecture of intelligence, deepen emotional and cognitive resilience, and navigate the accelerating complexities of an AI-driven age.

This is where psychology evolves – not for personal success, but for collective survival, human sovereignty, and conscious evolution.
