@Nikki k Thank you for sharing your story and all the best on your upcoming way to recovery! I also had a few other sessions since the last time I wrote into this thread, but I'm not feeling better, but on the contrary worse than in a long time for the last three weeks. I'm anxious and...

I have had three EMDR sessions so far on an weekly / bi-weekly basis and it might be the fact that I just started out with the therapy, but I don't feel much of any progress so far. I become more exhausted and tired out in the days or sometimes even the full week after the session, but I don't...

Hi @joeylittle ! No, I don't know the diagnosis of my condition. I have been starting a CBT / EMDR based therapy with a T after an initial assessment a short while ago. As I wanted to find out more about the technique and the prognosis of EMDR, and as many of the members on this board already...

A warm welcome to the forum from me as well!

I have been working from home for a couple of months last year in the field of web design / web development on a freelance / contract basis. I don't have any experience with remote work in other disciplines, but I can imagine translation, any kind of writing or content management are also...

Hey @Bastion, I hope you are doing well. I can relate to a few of the things that you wrote - the only thing that comes to my mind is to first of all not to push yourself too hard if you don't feel ready and also to think about anything that might make the first meeting as comfortable as...

Thanks for your kind words @heyheyhey and @VikVikViktorious and for the warm welcome!

It's great to hear about a couple of your positive experiences with EMDR in challenging issues stemming from child abuse. I just started therapy due to issues I have with depressed mood, anxiety and interpersonal relationships which I believe to be connected to the prolonged emotional abuse in...

Hi everyone! I'm a 27-year old woman who has dealt with depressive episodes, low self-esteem, anxiety and struggles in her interpersonal (especially romantic) relationships most of her life. Growing up with a possibly manic-depressive, narcissistic and schizophrenic (until today undiagnosed)...
