I had my emdr appointment today as I do every thursday. Today it really helped. I got in "touch" with this powerful feeling of anger. It made me feel powerful again. I feel like I am not a child stuck in a hopless situation.Yeah. Hope it lasts.

Wow! That's great. I really considered EMDR when I was looking for a T, but when I found my T I knew he was "the one", and he's not trained in that.

I'm really glad you're having such a positive experience with it!!!

Glad it's working for you. I do EMDR semi-regularly with my T and has found it to be incredibly helpful, although I do find it really intense.

I'm glad you got some benefit from this treatment. It was only just introduced to me this week. I don't think the eye movement did much for me, but the visualizing and thinking about a trigger certainly did. I was very unsettled that night. The feelings subsided somewhat after doing the EMDR exercise I was shown; however they quickly resurface when I stopped doing it. I don't think I've gotten the whole treatment procedure yet.

MINIME, EMDR can be so powerful. Glad you had a good one. EMDR helped me get "unstuck" sometimes too.
