Sorry, I'm new and can't post full links yet.

It's not "too good to be true"... and it can be hard work, in that you are confronting some dark stuff. I have done it myself around sexual abuse I suffered as a child. It was hard but I'm not having flashbacks anymore and I'm much less triggered now. I also provide EMDR myself and I am always amazed at how well it works for my patients.
Thank you -- glad it works for you! That's super. I'd heard it was quick and easy -- and that sounded too good to be true.

I'm used to hard work on issues. What works for me is intensive Art Therapy with a fully qualified Art Therapist. This does not mean any ol' artist that calls themself an art therapist. An Art Therapist has a degree in Art Therapy, and in addition Master's degreed qualifications and licensed psychotherapist. I've worked with two great Art Therapists, and recovered pretty much from PTSD. But now I wonder if the PTSD is coming back. Not exactly "coming back," just that maybe I still experience it now that there are so many new triggers firing at me -- like a shotgun firing rains of pellets instead of one bullet at a time. I will probably start Art Therapy again. The kind I had before was paid for by my medical insurance, but now I will have to pay out of pocket because I can't find this sort of art therapy anymore in public health clinics around here.
