Reply to "EMDR?"

musicalmeMember

I have done EMDR work with my T. I have found it very effective in getting past the "logical" side of me and into my "emotional" side. My T uses a light bar, and I follow the lights as they light up back and forth with my eyes. Usually, she lets me determine the length of the set in response to whatever question she has posed for me to try to get an answer to. Then we discuss whatever images, thoughts, or feelings have come up. We have also used it as a relaxation technique when I have come in so activated that I needed to calm down.

I would absolutely recommend it. But, only if you are truly ready and prepared. Stuff can come up that you weren't really aware of. But in the hands of a T trained in EMDR, he/she should be able to help you process whatever you find.
