Dear DifferentlyWired:

Mazel tov on your recent diagnoses and moving forward with treatment (also, cute Gizmo

I haven't had the opportunity to have EMDR, but found CBT and DBT to be very effective for managing symptoms/triggers. All I've read so far about EMDR is positive; if you would care to share your impressions of the treatment as you advance, I would be very interested.

I know everyone has different experiences/reactions to medications, but have found my anti-anxiety drugs to be a godsend (my insurance did not fund, and past doctors refused to prescribe, these until about a year ago).

Take care - wishing you all the best in your treatment.
