well well...all I can tell you is that EMDR is the only therapy that has helped me. I know that I am doing things in EMDR that my mind would never allow myself to do in the other therapies.
I do practice yoga regularly (5 - 90 minute classes a week) and I work with a private teacher. I fully believe that yoga is an important part of my recovery, but my practice whether in a class or with my teacher would never be capable of working through the emotional issues I have suffered as a result of my abuse. Neither myself nor my teachers could possibly know how to help me through the overwhelming emotions that have come out.
I believe there are many benefits to yoga. I'm dedicated to it, I love my practice, all of it, not just the asanas. But I am so tired of people telling me that it will fix all my problems.
There are those that believe and those that don't. But don't knock it until you've tried it.
