Suzzie, I do EMDR for very complex PTSD. Tons of different past trauma issues for the first 26 yrs of my life. I worked with my T for 2 yrs without EMDR because I was in breakdown state. Total breakdown. He got certified in EMDR last year and started doing that with me. It was DRAMATIC the difference in my healing rate with EMDR.
It was mind blowing how fast it worked and how I did get very instant relief.
I would sometimes go into session being almost suicidal and I would walk out of the session in a totally different mindset. My T was even amazed at how fast EMDR worked. My T said that he has had the same response from some of his other clients doing EMDR. He said that if he had known how powerful this tool was that he would have done it much sooner as a T.

thank you wepow

Suzzie, my T uses EMDR on me and it works at an extremely fast rate and helping relieve my PTSD. We don't do it every session because it can get overwhelming for me at times, but it works.

My T does EMDR with all of her clients, she says. I've seen her for 2 years but I was skeptical about it so we've just started doing it regularly. I've seen changes in me so I know it does work. Mine is not major trauma so the effect is not so dramatic, but often what the process gets me to "bring up" is helpful in its own right. I've heard and read that EMDR works quickly for trauma, and is much better than talk thearpy. I've heard if from my T.

Works for me for complex traumas. We targeted about 8 of them.
It took me a day or two to process the memories into a "tolerable" memory.
Didn't go away, but changed the experience in some way, made it fade or hard to remember in the painful way it was. Worked for me!
