Does anyone get painful shooting sensations, a bit like electric shocks in their head? I think they might be related to some sort of trauma reaction as they started as frequent fear sensations, like a rush of adrenaline sensation that you get when you witness something bad about to happen, but...

Thanks all. Does anyone know how you treat that in EMDR. Do you have to work on each one, or can you work on one and it will help everything?

I'm wondering if anyone knows how to address traumas if there are multiple traumas from adulthood? Specifically, will EMDR work for this, and how? I've been in quite a few separate traumatic situations and several of them would probably be classed as major. I was blocking them all out for...

@Friday thanks for this detailed explanation. I think what I have been doing is a gradual approach as the time they are in my house has increased gradually over 6-9 months. It's just the shaking is getting worse. In fact when they first came, even though I knew they were a potential threat...

OK thanks for your reply. I'm just thinking as it's not only when I sleep it's also when I'm awake during the daytime?

OK thanks. I've looked at this and I'm not sure because I also have it when awake and the trauma was related to falling asleep as I woke during surgery and was then put back to sleep. What I'm feeling now is like my arm (which I had a muscle block on and it felt like it was not part of my body...

Getting sensations when almost falling asleep. Don't know what it is flashback, dissociation etc...I'm worrying that it's a hallucination or something. Sometimes it happens when awake as well. It's exactly the same as a feeling during a trauma.It only lasts for a few seconds before I shut it...
