Honestly I know this isn't a good thing really to look at it this way, but I almost feel like I might as well try just so I can prove it doesn't work on me...its pointless anyways, all the meds in the world are pointless to....I mean what is so much better about pharmacuticals than drugs you get on the street...either way its drugs to relieve the mental pain and eventually its just not enough whether its a pharmaceutical or not.
Going off topic of my own thread now, but anyways why bother.

Well I understand. I tried emdr and it didn't work for me, but I was the first person she tried it on.
I also did cognitive processing therapy and omg, I've never felt worse. I had to write out all the abuses I went through, then, read it to myself for a couple of weeks then read it to her. Then we had 4 more sessions and we were done. I was not at all in any way shape or form ready to be done. I mean I just shared 13 pages of horrific abuses. And I didn't even share all of it!!! I wonder about therapists. And in cognitive processing therapy its all about your thoughts are wrong and u need to think differently. ********, what happened to me is what's wrong.
Anyway, I feel you.
