I've been seeing a trauma specialist since the end of April, but are doing our 1st EMDR session tomorrow. I rated all my Targets and chosen one to work on, which is pretty traumatic from age 12. I'm definitely nervous. I feel no emotions surrounding this incident, but know they're there, so...

The only reason I believe this may have happened is because I was having acupuncture treatments, which opens up the "chi" pathways in one's body. I was in no way trying to remember this, in fact, just the opposite, remember a wonderful happy memory from the previous session. I don't think it...

My acupuncturist told me last week that the average age of remembering repressed memories is when a person is in their 40's. I was 55 when this memory came to me. The only reason I believe it may have happened is the fact I was in a very relaxed happy mood expecting to experience a similar...

Evan, The thing about my repressed memory is it happened during an acupuncture treatment. I went 3 days that week. Session 1 was just very very relaxing. Session 2 was amazing. I was very relaxed and doing visualization and relaxation techniques. My brain went into something similar to...

I am so much better than say 10 years ago. I had a great CBT therapist for 7 years, but decided I really wanted to try EMDR, found a therapist who treated with EMDR, but we weren't a good fit so switched back to another great CBT therapist. However I felt like she was more a friend and I was...

Meds definitely have helped, but I'm on way too many and hate it. My prior therapist of two years and current psychiatrist have spent years trying to help me come to terms with the bipolar dx. and make me see how important my meds are. Now I'm starting this new journey/experience so don't know...

I too am starting EMDR this week. I also found a wonderful trauma therapist after spending years in traditional therapy. I'm glad you know what you're starting with and it really seems like the right choice. I'm having trouble deciding on what Target to use, but it nice hearing that your Tdoc...

I'm 64 and been in traditional therapy for well over 10 years. While I found it to be helpful I felt like I was just going once a month to check in. I found a trauma therapist in April who does EMDR and have been seeing her every week for over 2 months now basically her getting to know me and...

There have been times when I can see having some sort of mania in the past. It was like my mind couldn't focus on any one thing and skipped all over the place, jumping from topic and topic to topic, talking a hundred miles a minute. In 2003 I impulsively started a photography business and...

The acupuncturist I'm seeing and new therapist both question the bipolar dx. I asked my current psychiatrist last year if he were meeting me for the 1st time would he think I was Bipolar and he said "no". He was basing it on the psychiatrist I was seeing before him who was in the same...

I also grind and clench my teeth. I had a night guard, but had stopped wearing it due to laziness. My teeth had started to break, chip and shift this past winter so when I decided to start wearing the guard again it didn't fit. This past week I got a new night guard and plan to wear it every...

I'm so glad to have found this forum as I need support to deal with my PTSD and the EMDR I’m starting to deal with it. I’m 64yo and live a quiet life in northern Illinois with my husband of 43 years. We’re both retired, but I keep myself busy quilting, photographing my 6 grandchildren...
