We are going to start doing EMDR again. I know some others here are going through this too. Let me know how it's going.
I'm pretty nervous, but need to feel like I'm doing something to move forward. We are working on coping skills and distress tolerance right now, to prepare.
Keep in touch!

EMDR will be GREAT!!! - it will help you to erase and remove all the evil and trash that has been clogging up your memory, hence effecting your life today.... the good will flow but once again.

Give IT time.... what do you have to loose? - nothing, but much to gain.

My Pdoc has suggested EMDR but he has no one to recommend me to right now....I think I will push him more on this because the PTSD is seeming to get worse rather than better & that is going to therapy 4 days per week. I feel like I am getting so much worse rather than better that I am afraid of myself & can't handle it anymore. I am getting to a point where I want out & don't know how to get out. I remember before when attempting suisice would have been my solution, but Izzy & my new future filly who will arrive within the next few weeks along with my baby puppies stop any of that as an option any more.

I just want it to all go away..

There is a simply at home EMDR that can be done to help calm ones fear and anxiety levels when they hit - at that exact moment..... just take your gently clinched fist and start to squeeze them, starting with the left one first and then alternating to the right then back to the left..... repeat until relief comes - usually within 5 to 10 minutes.

This procedure can be done without any one knowing that you are doing it - try IT, for it works wonders.... when lying in bed you can do this to relax or to go to sleep.

Good Luck ~
