I just read the initial post as well as the suggested article. I didn't even know the name of what I was going for before Aphrodite let me know. My T told me what would happen and I'm sure mentioned the name of the treatment but it obviously didn't stick with me. I did an EMDR treatment myself this week. I posted about it a little further down on this board. It was really exhausting and VERY emotional obviously, but I actually feel a lot better already. It's interesting...I was dealing with a rape (as well as a couple of other incidents that came up during treatment) and through discussing it in therapy as well as doing the EMDR, even for one session, I have been able to see the reasoning behind the unhealthy patterns in my relationship behavior over the past 15 years...and...I find myself not getting as uptight when my husband grabs me playfully, where as before I would get angry with him. I hope it continues this way. I would love to feel carefree again and be able to experience a healthy and fun sex life.
I am interested to see how it goes for you as well. Keep us updated :) Good luck! It's painful but worth it.
