has anyone had EMDR, what were your experiences and how would you recommend getting the best out of it? i?d be particularly interested to hear if anyone has had it for memories they?re completely dissociated from- as the main trauma that?s ruled my life for years is such a memory.
i?ve only had 2 sessions but am amazed. i still don?t quite believe something so simple can transform an intensely painful memory into just a memory. but that?s what its done.
i?d really appreciate it if anyone has any anecdotal advice about how to get the best out of it ie.
- how to choose memories to work with? my therapist wanted memories that haunt me, but there are a lot, and this is expensive.
- is there anything you can do before or after to maximise the benefit?
- how(/does) it work with dissociated memories?
- have you used it as part of addiction treatment? how effective did you find it? i?m currently in rehab.
