    Study Depression not caused by low serotonin after all

    I read a book about the early testing of SSRI s on humans. They took the suicides out of the data to get approved and to manipulate the research data and studies to push the drugs on the market. Funny enough I am taking 20 mg of Escitolopram for about a year now and I can say it helps, placebo...

    Back to EMDR after a pause

    Thank you for this. I do feel empty and hollow now 2 days after. I am starting to believe my T when she says that it's a lot with me. I am in mourning about my childhood and trying to reprocess it all and looking at it what it actually was... violence, abuse, neglect, manipulation, addiction...

    Sense Of Self

    The thing with me is that I can recite many definitions or paragraphs about complex trauma and when it comes to sense of self or even trying to see my face in a mental picture its like an image from an old black and white television set with a lot of static and distortion. Good topic and I will...
