mtd said what I would want to say. EMDR is a therapy method where the attempt is to desensitize you from an event. You can look it up as far as what the therapist does etc. it helped me around foster daughter's death in 1999. but I have been unable to do it on severe issues of abuse etc. If you could try I would though. You don't have to speak of the trauma, you choose the direction and report back on your feelings as the therapist uses light or gentle touching left to right to help your brain reprocess what you are thinking of. It is interesting stuff but we all have different ways.
