going to see pdoc tomorrow and i'm concerned. being treated for ptsd (among other things) and hypnosis and EMDR have been suggested as alternatives or complements to my meds. Been in therapy for practically my whole life, on and off, and mom made a comment that i underwent similar treatment when i was a child with positive results. don't remember much about that doc, except that she made me keep a journal about my nightmares, and that i hated going to her. here i am twenty years later, and new pdoc has suggested this treatment. i'm afraid. i don't know if i could possibly feel any worse than i already do, but can this hurt me, not physically, but emotionally? i know i need to ask the doc these questions but i don't trust that i'll get an honest answer. has anyone been through hypnosis /EMDR and had negative reaction? positive reaction? total breakdown or total recovery? any advice or knowledge on the subject is most welcome.
