EMDR

Has anyone tried EMDR therapy? I’ve started seeing a therapist who specializes in this and wondered if anyone has had good luck with it

Hi there: I have had about 4 sessions of this type of therapy and unfortunately it has not done really anything to help ease the trauma I experienced. I hope you have better luck. Let us know. Good luck.

Thank you! That’s disappointing that you didn’t have better results. I realize everyone is different and I’m very hopeful that this helps even a little. I hope you’re able to find something that helps!

Absolutely...everyone is certainly different. I really wish you well. I have beeen trying to stay off meds. At this point, nothing is helping. Best wishes ..

Hi pyrlove. I've personally felt helped by EMDR. My issues may differ from yours, of course. And as you guys talked about - everyone can be different when it comes to this. But for me it has been helpful. Best of luck.

Happy spring. 🌸

Hello purlove498, for me EMDR helped me in some ways , your therapist will bring up your past or present strong emotional events that are harboring in the back of your mind. Sometimes you don't realize it. It can be from fears, ptsd, guilt. Doing it as many times as needed is always the way too move on and letting go until what ever your holding on til it doesn't bother you any more, like being desensitized from that event. I feel that Emdr alone won't be the total solution but a steping stone and using other combination tools to help overcoming whatever it is. Good luck and god bless.
