Hi there, I am 34 a mother if two and a Navy Wife battling with PTSD, all of which became this in a matter of ten years. It started when I was younger with my dads alcoholism and grew from that trauma, to being sexual assaulted. I have lived a very rough 24 years, I've never wanted anything more but to be free from the horrors and fear I see every day. Just about a month ago I began a treatment called EMDR, I have read it didn't help in some and made it worse in others. Ive heard it all the negatives and how it doesn't work with multiple traumas, but I have had to face a lot of traumas and the EMDR is by far the most wonderful treatment. Sure there's very bad days, but there are also good days. It's going to get worse before it gets better. You have to weather the storm so you can look back and and see all the changes you made and know that there is a light somewhere but unless you keep pushing through it you will never see the beauty that awaits. I never thought I would be able to grow and see life any other way, until I tried the EMDR, it's been hard I won't lie but it's worth having myself be free and learn to cope without medications. There's always good and bad opinions for all things but you find what works best for you, good luck

Hi, do you mind if I ask some questions?

How often do you do emdr?
Are you still able to manage life while going through treatment?
Is there anything negative you feel about the therapy?
