Anybody done this before? I'd be in it for PTSD, which I think it is used for most frequently.

I am hopeful in that it might work for me. I have tried EMDR and it just didn't work because I think I need to actually verbalize the horror to someone else to help get it out of my head and off my chest...if I don't share the pain with another, then I feel like it'll continue to eat me alive. I grew in a household full of secrets and which forced me to keep secrets of things that should have never been kept secret... EMDR kind of made me feel like I still needed to keep my secret and that nobody wanted to hear of my pain or couldn't handle it... as I child I was treated as something to be seen and not heard, EMDR reinforced those feelings for me. PET sounds like there is a lot more verbalization of the traumas which is going to be incredibly difficult, surely, but I think more of a release will come from it.

Anybody have any experience?
