myself said:
and regardless of the approach moving my eyeballs and so on is not going to stop me from experiencing flashbacks, panic attacks and so on. I have DID which is that my memories have been separated and stored in pieces unconsciously.
Until those repressed memories have been remembered and stored at my conscious level of thinking through working on co consciousness and integration I am always going to have panic attacks and so on. If I didn't have DID and just had normal PTSD symptoms this might have worked for me but as long as I have no memories of why I am panicing EDMR is not going to help me no matter what approach is used.

I understand what YOU are saying here and yet I too have DID (had 20 alters) and I have PTSD (among other disorders) and the E.M.D.R. worked great at calming me when distressed in public...... for it is a physical change that takes place with in the body when using E.M.D.R. with the fist or feet, therefore, it can help to calm any part of YOU - rather YOU or the others are aware of it or not.

....... Just wanted to share something that worked for ME - a DID & PTSD patient, therefore, it might be able to help others.
