Induced after death communication (IADC) is a unique form of grief treatment that was developed by Dr. Allan Botkin while he was working at the VA in Chicago and utilizing EMDR. IADC is a brief, intensive therapy for grieving clients that is based on EMDR with changes that allow it to address the clients sadness associated with the loss.
"IADC Therapy generally involves two sessions on two consecutive days. It focuses on reducing the sadness associated with grief by using a modified protocol of EMDR Therapy. Once a greater degree of resolution is achieved, a state of receptivity is then cultivated. In this state, most clients perceive a deep and loving connection with the deceased loved one through one or more of the five senses or through some other sense-of-presence perception.
Clients who undergo successful IADC Therapy report significant reduction of the sadness associated with the death of a loved one. They frequently report resolution of any unsettled issues in the relationship with the deceased, and they report feeling reassured of their loved one’s wellbeing. Perhaps most meaningfully, however, clients report experiencing a deep sense of connection with their loved one and a transformation in feelings of separation."
