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.

Hello there, I have PTSD, have been under EMDR sessions(not many), did not know about it until maybe 8 years ago.
Not really ready to say more, thank you.

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.

EMDR
at Combat Stress. SJW is prescription only in Germany, wonder why that is!!

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?

Emdr was great but now im in limbo..help!
I've been ill for 7 months and been having
emdr
therapy which has been a life saver. I was feeling good, with ups and downs but now I'm struggling. My therapist was great at
emdr
stuff but now we are working in a cbt style on self esteem with workbooks.

PTSD
My employer is now sending me for
EMDR
therapy which seems to be helping with the symptoms but which is also causing more anxiety. Anyone out there experienced this?

Need some advice
I am currently on the waiting list of
EMDR
- has anyone with anxiety ever had this treatment? The physical symptoms of anxiety such as dizziness and headaches and feeling out of the situation are pretty normal for me to feel all day and I hate it.
