Dear Partlycloudy,
I have done EMDR for the last two years and it has dramatically changed my life.
I just saw my therapist today and we worked on a trauma.
I have been astounded and greatly relieved by this work.
My life is so different since I started this.My partner introduced me to this therapy, he used it because he found his baby son in the basement on fire. He tried to put out the fire and burned his hands. The child died and he was having horrible "post traumatic stress syndrome". He kept seeing the child and would go into a tail spin....This went on for 17years till he did EMDR and now like magic no more wake up dreams...nightmares. He can still recall his son and all that happened but he doesn't have to relive it all the time.
It's now his choosing to recall.I have had a tremendous amount of traumas in my life and EMDR has been my best friend. I love EMDR for releasing me from the trapped, painfilled and hyper-vigilant person I used to be.
So my dear friend....
I would give it a try and I hope it works for you.
It has saved my life.
