(Sorry if this isn't under the correct forum section.)
My therapist has brought up EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) as a way to maybe help with my PTSD.
However, from what I understand it only seems to work for people who have attacks that remember these things that traumatized them(or rather they advertised it as something for people who relive their traumas). I don't really ever think about my trauma. I barely do. I don't relive it. And the memories don't bother me too much at all when I think about it. I just feel nothing about it, kinda. Desensitized. But I do get panic or anxiety attacks from time to time from certain triggers, but I never directly think about my experience and panic about that.
I'm mainly just dissociated from my experience, I suppose. I don't really feel anything for it, I guess.
Does EMDR work for people.. I guess, who dissociate?
And if you've done EMDR, has it helped you?
