Generally, the feedback I get from other trauma patients, is that it has helped them enormously in processing abuse memories with less pain, or to gain access to memories. I have a close friend who is a clinical psychologist and believes all her clients (abused/non-abused) have all benefited greatly from emdr. She says it often helps people realize the connection between current emotions and past incidents, whereas they were not able to make those çonnections before using EMDR. You should do a PB search on EMDR; there are threads regarding it as a treatment tool in the archives. Shellie

Dari,

I did EMDR for PTSD and other things and found it
helpful. It was very physically tiring for that day;
but the next day I felt OK. I'm not sure what
it did; but I think it helped me get rid of some
stuff that was unconsiously bothering me.

There is a web site for it with lots of info:

www.emdr.com

good luck with it; if you do it.
