how the hell do you banish ptsd
I've had ptsd (
emdr
) counselling which didn't work for me, but i kept myself busy, positive, smiley and no-one but no-one would have a clue about the tsunami of tears ever-ready to pour down my face.

Seeking Your Insights About EMDR
We've had two sessions so far and will start next week to talk about
EMDR
therapy and the details of how that might work with me. I know the traumas have to be revisited, but I'm getting cold feet about going through the therapy.

Stress & anxiety
Tried
EMDR
therapy and it didn't work. I have constant pressure in my chest and sometimes chest pain, shortness of breath that feels like I have had the breath knocked out of me for just a second or two at a time and hurt and ache in upper and middle back.

Do I need
EMDR
instead? She doesn't do it. Maybe she can find me someone who does it. Something is off, something is missing. I'll figure it out, hopefully. Years ago, I did Primal Therapy. Maybe that would help me now. Primal scream!

Where do I go from here?
I went to a therapist who did
emdr
and other things that only made the ptsd come back stronger during the sessions and after. I did that for about 3 years till I felt I was done putting myself through that. I was always social. I loved going out and doing things with friends.

Working to heal
I've experienced multiple traumas and am working with a therapist -
EMDR
therapy has been helpful. So many years of stress and dissociation to try to cope with the stress has put a toll on my body. I feel frustrated that at 33 I didn't start this hard work sooner.

Accepting acceptance
Last January I began
EMDR
and although it has helped I'm still struggling on a daily basis. The panic attacks are fewer in number but just as terrifying and paralyzing. I'm at the age now where all of my "friends" are having babies and I wish with all my heart that I could be in that space.

Experience with prazosin?
Should I be taking this or do
EMDR
or something else to alleviate symptoms permanently? Has anybody used prazosin ? I am interested in any feedback.

WTF
She said that I was not ready for
EMDR
..The rest of my day was really f-up. On our wedding anniversary last Thursday, with my husband had a situation involving cops. They showed-up in my showroom, it was humiliating and I got triggered since and totally shut down.

EMDR therapy-has anyone tried this?
I have had various therapies in the past, but have found a local person who does
EMDR
...as it's private, and quite expensive I just wondered if anyone else had tried this and if it worked? Thanks in advance!

The therapy is
EMDR
.... It deals with people like myself who cannot rid themselves of emotional traumas that have happened in past situations Long story short.. I and people like me.. cannot separate the memory of a traumatic event from the emotions that go along with the trauma.

Think I need the tablets now.....
This
EMDR
is so tough at the moment. Still suffering PTSD from an experience from years ago that has re-emerged with the therapy I have had from the recent trauma. Have started on the citalopram as I am so scared about how I'm feeling, trying not to slip back into that black hole.............

Should I or shouldn't I?
Will they change the effectiveness of
EMDR
treatment when I restart that?
