Yes I have and still do EMDR but I have complex Trauma not just an single event. It helped immensely with nightmares, trauma events loopong around over in my head and took the charge out of the memories. However, it did not fix everything but it is a great tool to bring about reduction in suffering and symptoms.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
