Hi, I was wondering if you know anything about EMDR online therapy. I would love to give this therapy a go for trauma, but there are no practitioners in my area. Hope someone is more knowledgable in EMDR, would love to hear your feedback on doing this virtually? Looking forward to your reply! Thanks

I have done EMDR in person, I find it useful.
Based on my experience it does not seem like a treatment that would work well online. The Ts I have done it with have watched me carefully; face, hands, body position, breathing etc to help guide them as to pace and timing. Is it even offered online? |

Yes......it was the one Modality that saved my life I believe and made me a functioning human. They say it can not be used for Complex PTSD but every time I had some kind of episode I like to call going batshit crazy (emotional flashback) he did EMDR around it and sure enough it related back to a childhood issue. It got resolved and then I would not have such an extreme reaction to that stimulus again. It took two years and I am not cured by no means but I am so much calmer and function so much better than I have ever. My therapist also used IFS around issues in conjunction with EMDR and that help also.

I did EMDR about four years ago. Honestly, it didn't work for me. I was so self-conscious and overly aware of everything that I couldn't focus. I know it's worked for other people, though, so I wouldn't ever rule it out.

I am starting with a new EMDR therapist. Have not done it for 3 years but it really helped me. The key is having a great connection with the therapist. I won't be doing EMDR until I can feel connect and trust him enough to be vulnerable enough.

I’ve been doing EMDR with my therapist since the fall and it’s helped me deal with the ptsd issues that have had me on medical leave since October.
