EMDR

[rachel913]

Has anyone researched, benefited from, or used EMDR therapy to help with anxiety or a traumatic event?

I also have not heard of this therapy but read just now and it seems like what I was wanting a mix with hypnosis type to just get you thinking different. I am going to follow to see if anyone has done this. Very interesting.

I'll make another post once we actually start using this technique in my therapy sessions and let you know how it's working.

My cousin did it all through high school and I have just went through some traumatic stuff recently and she has recommended it to me along with another professional so I'm looking for a therapist now.....I'm excited and scared. But mostly excited to get past this mountain in life....I think Dr Phil said it best when he said life is managed not cured....

I tried it.... didn’t seem to help me

You have to be able to be hypnotised. Not all people are susceptible. Also be careful when choosing a hypnotherapist. A shady one can do a lot of damage. Research the doctor before you make an appointment. Make sure the doctor is certified and that he/she doesn’t have any complaints lodged against him/her.

I cannot stress enough how important those two things are. When my mind is clear, I’ll write a post on the subject.

My therapist and I did EMDR for a few sessions, it didn't really do anything for me unfortunately.
