> What do people think about EMDR for treatment of PTSD?
I tried EMDR with the hope of letting go of some childhood trauma. It has had the most extraordinary effect! What was achieved was far more then I had ever dared hope for. I am finally free of the effects of my childhood, and the self loathing and distrust that were part of that. I quite literally feel that I have started a new life, one where I am not cringing to avoid the next blow, but reaching out to embrace everything the world has to offer. The depression that I have fought for years is gone, and I do not expect it to return. At 40, I am full of peace and hope and excitement and I am glad to be alive. I know this sounds like a 2 am infomercial, and I cannot tell you logically why the EMDR worked for me, but I know that it did. It is not hypnosis, and I have no stake in selling it. Try it. For me it ended years of pain, and I hope that it can do that for you too.
