I know it is for PTSD and have read about it, but I wanted to know people's opinions about it or if it has actually worked.
I have a problem with suppressed memories of specific (not all) abuse and csa; but I know those memories are there and completely affect everything in my present life. I am just not sure if EMDR would be possible for me since I can't remember details and certain instances actually happening.
I had every sign and all the behaviors of csa when I was younger. To this day I still have triggers that make me feel sick or anxious and certain other things that can't be explained. I know I need to deal with the underlying event/problem but I don't know how if I can't remember.
That's the part of EMDR that was confusing to me..

It's done in eight phases and requires special training on the part of the clinician.
