I have had EMDR & have recently been referred to have more. It was very successful for me & I no longer have flashbacks or SH. It also enabled me to actually speak about the abuse without it overwhelming me completely. However, I still have trauma 'residue' which needs further work on. If you respond well to it, you will find it life changing. Go for it because you have nothing further to lose by having it. I found it exhausting. I'd come out of a session & when I got home, I'd sleep for hours. Good luck.
