Poll Alternative Trauma Therapies

I've used neurofeedback, guided visualizations, meditations, etc. not sure if this is what you're asking?

Have they helped you at all?

My therapist would love for me to try EMDR but I am scared to... instead until now we have been doing traditional talk, I guess we will do that until I am ready to take the nest step.

Interesting stephanie. How does dance movement therapy work? Has it helped you recover?

I have had EMDR although since we started using this my T has since trained in Brainspotting also. He offered me the choice, but I decided to stick with what I am familiar now. He suggests the results are very similar.

I have been having EMDR for 3 years now, although intermittently when something new turns up.

I am intrigued by the title of this thread, as I don't consider EMDR to be 'alternative' but mainstream as it is recommended in our national guidelines for treating PTSD.
