Can EMDR help with childhood trauma.

[shannjoy]

As traumatic as my childhood was, I’m thankful for it. I’ve forgiven those who’ve hurt me, even though I have to remind myself daily of that. It’s shaped who I am, given me strength and confidence to be the best person I can be and allowed me to move into helping others with trauma as well. I wouldn’t change a thing.

Yes I got EMDR, it's fantastic, my mum was a narcissist and I suffered badly. This was fantastic and removes bad memories.

EMDR changed my life in ways that cannot be adequately expressed here. Suffice it to say I view it as a life saving therapy when conducted by a skilled therapist. Many people don't understand that PTSD is not generally improved through common talk therapy for many reasons. So if anyone you know is seeking help for PTSD, please suggest EMDR as an option they may wish to look into. It was extremely effective for my multiple traumas spanning childhood to my early 40s, both physical and psychological. It may not help everyone but, for those who are responsive to it, it can feel almost miraculous (and I don't use that word lightly).

EMDR helped me like nothing else I had tried before. Very traumatic childhood, very hard to overcome. This one thing helped more then I can say.

EMDR saved me. Not medication or talk therapy could have touched and corrected what was going on.

Love your snippets, very informative and not rushed...

EMDR had absolutely helped me with my PTSD. I'm very grateful to have found it and my life has greatly improved.

So I did watch and listen again so I got the jest but in therapy terms so I wrote questions below that I think are still relevant however, explained where the patient can understand the outcome and how it will show up as you move forward in healing and not wanting to become numb or to forget

It seems hokey, but actually has serious clinical evidence for efficacy. Also, I had a therapist who was involved in the development of it's application and experienced the treatment

Make sure you're using a licensed and trained psychiatrist before you attempt this.

Firstly, they should explain what EMDR is at the very beginning of the video.

I found it to be helpful dealing with painful memories.

A trauma therapist told me it is appropriate for some folks with PTSD, but not all. Maybe with CPTSD it can open too much at once? I dunno.

Love the skull in the background. I have several…❤️❤️❤️

I thgt EMDR is too lessen triggers by some how making you forget? This is why I didn’t want to it I don’t want to forget even thou I would love to it’s not healthy and so it defeats my purpose and as an empath I don’t want to become numb or my emotions lessened. So can clarify what it is and how it’s done and it’s affects as you move forward processing through therapy

I have been kidnapped and all kinds of trauma. The treatment is too expensive however.

Can EMDR help even if you are 60 and still suffering?

[fauna]

Should have explained what it even was. I had to google it and hard pass. I don't need to feel all those things ever again.
