EMDR - Has anyone done this

EMDR - Has anyone done this

Hi all, i have had 1 session with a new psychologist who i like, but she has suggested we do a number of sessions of EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprogramming. Apart from the cost factor which i rly cant afford, im pretty nervous about the whole thing. Supposedly it desensitises u to past trauma and its affects but things like this rly scare me. As any of u that i hav bn communicating with know i am going thru an extremely difficult time right now and im not sure that digging up or re-experiencing past traumas is the best way for me to go right now, even if the idea is to reduce the traumatic nature of those events. Im scared enough of the trauma and torture im going through right now! Id rly appreciate any feedback from anyone that has had this type of thereapy. I am seein her on monday and we are supposed to be devising our treatment plan so i need to make a decision by then. I have tagged some of my forum friends in but please feel free to tag anyone else in that u think might be able to provide some feedback.

Just normal hospital stuff @MDT . Going to groups, trying to fill in time between groups, and trying to deal with out of control anxiety, thats about it Hams.

I hope ur doing ok.

Re: EMDR - Has anyone done this

Hi @Zoe7 , thanks for thinking of me, I really appreciate it. Unfortunately I am in a really bad way, things are worse than I expected. I can't even begin to describe how torturous my symptoms are, they are just out of control. I just don;t know what to do with myself. It is absolute torture. I wish I could give you better news Zoe but things are really bad. I am really really scared that I am not goigng to get out of this. Each dy is worse than the last and I'm scared at just how bad it's going oto get! It is really scary. I would have hoped to get better in hospital, not worse. But that's not how things are going atm.

How are you goin with eeverything Zoe? Sounds like you've been busy with work. When you are working on the weekened, are you doing lesson plans?

I hope you are doing well Zoe. Thanks again for thinking of me.

I am sorry to hear it @Doglover
I do hope you get the help in hospital you want and need.
You are a great addition to the forumite community here. I like seeing you about. But I do understand that you are struggling atm.
You are safe in hospital atm. I always reminded myself that I was in a good place when I needed it.
Despite the fact that it hurts and it's hard you're in safe hands.
