Thanks, and thanks Dinah for your replies. Perhaps I haven't given the treatment chance yet. I've had therapy for a number of years on and off with different therapists (I keep moving country because of my job), and this is the first time it really seems to be hitting home and producing something. So, fingers crossed.
I think this forum is somewhat humbling; to meet people who have had really bad things happen and are willing to share and support. So, thanks for that, and good luck.
> I did EMDR for a year and some months. I have a life full of trauma...From my very first breath till I was in my 30's. You name it, it happened to me.
> When I started I had no idea that so much of my attention and energy was going toward being vigilant...night and day. I had a kind of physical hummmmm....nervous energy that had a sexual stimulation to it. It was exhausting for me and others. Someone said I was like a rush on espresso.
> I was embarassed about that but....
> I spent a lot of time in EMDR and that has changed me to my very vibration...I am calmer and more centered. I like my life now. I like myself too.
> It's a very powerful treatment for the right problem. Incident related problems are perfect for this therapy. I have been in therapy since I was a little girl. My feet didn't even reach the floor in the big chair.
> Too much therapy that wasn't even effective. So if you are like me....well there's hope.
