> EMDR changed my life. I have only done it once so far, but the results are unbelieveable. My T plans on doing more of this, even though it is hard, I am looking forward to freeing myself of my bad memories of the past. You search for a qualified EMDR specialist by searching EMDR. com. My T is even listed there.
Hello.Just wondered if you have continued with your EMDR therapy and if you have continued to have successes with those sessions.
I have had some successes with my EMDR sessions and also so frsutrations. The frustrations haven't been due to the sessions themselves, but simply at how fragmented the process has been.
We got started on a productive series of sessions (about three) and then therapist had to take two weeks off to go to an advanced certification course. Then we had one session then Thanksgiving hit and she took an extra week off around then for out of state company. Then we had one session - but never did get to employ EMDR - and then I was off to NIH hospital. Then there was one session - but again no EMDR - before the Christmas / New Year's holidays (with more time taken off). We have now had one session since first of the year and no EMDR again as we had to get caught up with all of the particulars from NIH visit.
Hopefully we can get the actual EMDR therapy back on a regular course starting the next visit (next week). As you know, the sessions themselves can be quite traumatic, but I honestly believe that overall they are doing as much (if not more) than the meds in providing a long-term solution.
