<font color="green"> I have done EMDR and found it very beneficial. However, I would not suggest that you try it alone for the first few times. I find it lets me open up to deeper areas and deeper traumas. I am able to work through that with my therapist but while I was still so reactive, I don’t think it would have been a good plan to try it alone. Today I do use it occasionally to self-calm or to escape from a flashback but this is nearly 5 years later. </font>
