Well i tried EDMR (very expensive procedure), for a few months with weekly sessions, i liked my T and felt safe with her. They figured it takes approx 3 to 6 sessions to be better, i must have had a dozen, and it did not work well for me at all. Some people find peace in reliving all that has happened to them, but i didn't..... When i was in full EDMR, my T had gotten frightened of my reaction, she had to stop for fear of what i was going through and the EXTREME anxiety it put me through each time. I suffer from PTSD, GAD, MDD. Mind you, i did like that she made me find a 'safe spot', which i try to use every time i have an attack. Some days were better, but mostly i walked away feeling like i had just been abused all over again.
Maybe it works better on some people, the medical profession seems to back it up.... i don't know. I find i feel better after just regular therapy sessions.
I truly hope it will work for you, everyone deserves some 'peace of mind'.
