Being a sufferer of C-PTSD, I feel like the world is a dark, hopeless, colorless, dangerous place, and I find it very difficult to form good casual relationships (with people I am not very familiar with). Did you feel like that? And did EMDR help with that? I understand that it is mostly about decreasing the power of memories.
Thanks for these videos! I just discovered them. I have had 1 EMDR session so far. Not sure where it's going. I was separated from the trauma at home when I was 5. I'm now over 60 and the results of those traumatic years have plagued me ever since. I remember some things at 5 or so, but how does a 3 and 4 year old deal with stuff like this? How does one recall? Well, I've started on this journey and will follow it wherever it takes me.
Hi, thank you for sharing you healing journey. Did you start using zoloft before you start EMDR? I am thinking to start both but not sure if I start zoloft or see how EMDR works for me and decide weather or not to take the med
Thanks for sharing your story. Do you know if EMDR works for people who can't access their traumatic memories but have been diagnosed with cptsd? Does it help or cause those memories to surface? Hoping the best for you :)
Leila hey Leila! So I honestly don’t know the answer to this question. From personal experience while I have been in therapy some memories from the specific event that we work on will come back to me.. I will be going to my therapist again tomorrow and I can ask her this question for you! ❤️
@@Forgetbreezy Thank you so much! My understanding is that it can be helpful to "unlock" stored memories. My therapist wants me to give it a try since it's so hard to talk about what I do remember. But honestly, I'm a bit terrified :/ Thank you for taking the time to reply :) I'm watching your vids to gain more insight and hopefully some courage.
Leila, yes you dont have to have clear memories....use your feelings....your feelings are memories. These feelings have been suppressed and they need to be allowed to leave. This is the majority of whats happen. "Everything is energy" Albert Einstein. I believe that EMDR breaks the energy damn upped in our feelings....feelings are energy as well. FOllow your feelings it works! You can even do one on line.Remember we are not supposed to feel badly or depressed etc! ruclips.net/video/DALbwI7m1vM/видео.html PS: read Christy Bingham review, its the first one...
Hello, I am considering EMDR and I wanted to ask you a couple of questions if that was ok. So you said your PTSD level was a 9 but you believe it it now at a 4? What symptoms did you have before? Did you have anxiety, depression, or hypervigilance? How many many times until you think you will be able to stop going? Also what do sessions consist of? So they target specific memories with questions? And I hear the therapist use tools. Is your therapist using any tools? Glad to hear your doing better.
Frank Wess hi!! So maybe I can clarify a little bit. I am complex ptsd. Which basically means multiple traumatic events over years of time! So I go through one event after another during EMDR. But I have heard that the approach works wonders for PTSD as well. So I highly recommend! For this particular incident it started at a 9 and then after a couple sessions went to a 4. Then after the 4th session I trained my brain to process it completely! Yes my therapist uses specific tools to help me process and work through the events and memories!
Thank y’all for coming on this journey with me! ❤️❤️ any questions, comments, or positive vibes leave them below! 🙃
