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.

Hey @Doglover
How are you?

Re: EMDR - Has anyone done this

Yes they have @Gazza75 unfortunately. They really have gone from bad to worse and they don't seem to know what to do about it.

Thank you for your support and advice. I can;t remember wat I said in my last post but i have so many new symptoms that I've never had before, and they are talking about discharging me in the state that I am in which is crazy as I cant even function. Never in my worst nightmares did I think I would end up like this. I came in here to get better but I have steadily got worse.

My eating is no better. There is nothing I can have other than fruit salad which I am having for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and some nights a burnt steak with lettuce and carrot. Thats all they have that I can eat. I have some dates and cashews that I have brought in but apart from that, nothing else. Fruit salad is my staple diet.

Thank you for sayng everyone on the forum wants me to get throguh this, I really appreciate it.

I just hope I get better soon as this is torture and absolutely sux more than words can say.

Thanks again Gazza for your support.

There is not much more I can say Hon but I am here sitting with you. I can hear how incredibly hard it still is for you and so wish it was different @Doglover Did you see the pdoc today? What did he say? Where you able to get across to him just how hard it is for you?

Re: EMDR - Has anyone done this

Hi Hams, not too good my friend. In a really bad way here in hospital. Way worse now than I was when I came in. I have a whole heap of symptoms that I didn't have when I came in here. I am in a state of much distress. I dont think they know what to do with me. The symptoms I am having are just torture, but I know I've already said that many times.

I hope you are doing ok @MDT .

Take care Hams.

Re: EMDR - Has anyone done this

Ok @Doglover
I am sorry to hear you are struggling. Sometimes it is best to be in the hospital rather than in the world when we are doing it really tough.

Take care my friend and keep me updated 🙂

Re: EMDR - Has anyone done this

Hi @Zoe7 , thank u for ur support. This is a reply to ur post on the 21st. Saw pdoc ystrday. He doesn't seem to get the state that I am in. Nobody seems to be getting it. Amongst other things, my sleep has been up the creek -2 hours last night, not much more the nights before, and they don't seem to b taking that seriously enuf which surprises me, given how important sleep is. My symptoms r out of control and I have a heap new symptoms that I didn't hav when I came in here. It is sheer torture.
