Affective Circuit Resetting

[Crow]

I'm already isolated, disassociative and emotionally tired...

You're already there so things can you only get better with the work! I neglected to say when the integration completes - sometimes seconds - my ability to handle life increases. It's totally worth the temporary discomfort and if you're already battling those things, you'll probably integrate quickly. And you and your T can manage the speed and intensity.

It is the only true healing I've done. I so encourage you to explore the possibilities.

Hi great to read your post. I suffer from cptsd and somatic symptoms. I won't go on about but I'm 60 and it goes back 60 years. I a qualified counsellor with a Masters but I have never practiced as I was too messed up. Anyway i do a lot of research and came across the vagus nerve recently. I had my first session yesterday with an osteopath who uses cranial sacral in her practice. My God it works. I can feel my body. It's alive. I have very little pain compared to usual. I am not being bombarded by horrible thoughts. I am just here being. I'm not exhausted. I know what I've done throughout the day. No missing bits or memory loss. The list goes on. I wish I could convince everyone to do it. How are you doing now. Would love to here back from you.

I looked that up just now @Marisea that is really interesting! It sounds like you've had good results from it, I'm going to have to look into that for sure.

We did the circuit resetting a couple times awhile back and I didn't have any negative affects, I thought it was very relaxing. Right now my whole body is tense, but things have been stressful lately.

Wow! That article is so interesting, although it does left me feeling like "I'm in trouble here....my brain is so jacked up because of all of the trauma that I've dealt with that I'll NEVER be right in the head".
I began EMDR about 6 weeks ago, after my Therapist whom I've been seeing for a year decided that my issues were far more complex than she could deal with with cognitive therapy. She doesn't do EMDR, but referred me on to someone else.
So far, I'm still in the 2nd stage, building resources that I can use during the next phase. It's crazy to me how the brain works and can make connections just by bilateral stimulation. But I know it's working, because I'm able to instantly calm myself with my new tools.
I faced multiple childhood traumas, including physical and sexual abuse, and although I'm 50 and am relatively successful in life, my marriage ended after 24 years and I realize I'll never be able to have a healthy adult relationship if I can't resolve those things that are hidden deep in my brain.
So, I appreciate people's comments here. It's good to know I'm not alone.
