I made it through my EMDR, I have remembered my attack, have gone through the rape although I dissociated from it. I am now on my way to recovery and healing. It has been one of the hardest things I have been through. Buy now i am stronger yet lighter, my anger is under my control and I...

I have had several sessions of EMDR and now have memories of being hit that I didn't remember previously. I was camping alone attacked in the face and head raped and left for dead, resulting in TBI, PTSD. I am now to the point in therapy where I may or may not remember the rape. I have told...

Thanks

I am progressing through EMDR and have been desensitized to much of my terror. Recently I have uncovered a repressed memory of when I was hit in the face and knocked out. I am now at the point of moving toward the rape and I don't want to remember. I have a great therapist but she believes...

Have you talked to a therapist or someone in AA?

Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it

Thanks Deadman I like your last statement

How long Gia have you been doing EMDR?

Thanks, so it is ok to do once a a week. I have intense fall out but son't want to drag this out. My follow up of stabilizing and empowering sessions the same week help a lot.

Thanks it is getting better until the next session.

How often should one do EMDR, I am doing it once a week with a follow up of Stabilization/Empowerment session. Then someone told me EMDR should only be done once every two weeks as it takes that long for the body to process. What are your experiences, or thoughts?

I am so done with the drama and trauma of my life. I am hanging by a thread. I am on a roller coaster ride in my EMDR therapy and so tired, exhausted from working 6 days a week and doing therapy. i just want to checkout. I want out of the pain the anger and the stress.

My numbness just broke and I am crying now, thank you.

Thank you I am not sure how I can got back to EMDR next week. She has taught me grounding exercises. I think I am siting on a keg of rage under the numbness. I fear going back to EMDR but also the underlying rage I have. I will look into Tapping In. I need any resources I can find as I have no...

I was very thin for most of my life and then started taking on weight as I got older. I went from a fairly healthy diet to vegetarian with lots of exercise. And as I lost wt I noticed that I started covering my stomach with my arms. People at work thought I was cold, which I never am where...

No one can tell you how to feel only you know that, two you need to be honest with your therapist or you will get no where. I know it isn't easy to talk about as I have been there. Beaten, raped and left for dead. Whatever you want to call it, it was a violation of you as a person. And there...

Thank you

Thanks I am doing it to go to sleep afraid of dreams. Yes I know it isn;t good and other wise I have healthy habits. Have not shared yet with therapist.

Was about 2-3 times a week, since starting EMDR almost daily

I have been on anti depressants for almost 30 years. The problem is you have to play musical chairs to find the one that works for you. This is a tough experiment to find the one that effects your brain transmitters in the correct way. Some worked for and others sent me to a place I never...

Ever since I had Trauma I started drinking more than usual. Now that I am in EMDR therapy I am drinking way to much. How does one deal with this?

This past week I had a break through in a repressed memory of my attack. I have not remembered all that happened, just bits and pieces. Now with EMDR I am remembering more. I was attacked beaten, raped and left for dead while camping alone. This past week in my session I finally remember the...

Yes I have what I call emotional flashbacks where I have no vision or recall of the event. I can go from terror to hysterical crying, experiencing my attack without seeing it. My therapist told me this is common for people with PTSD.

I agree get a gender therapist or any one but her. She is not being objective nor are her opinions professional
