Looking for Support with Dissociation and Therapy Techniques

I did ego state

Make sure you vibe with the therapist first and if the trust is there, EMDR can be fantastic. It helped me a lot.

I believe you can do EMDR virtually depending on the therapist

I am also curious about EMDR. Would love to know more about it. Can it be done virtually?

@Charlize, it's nice to hear from you. I'm not sure there is a way to send a DM here, I've only seen posts so far. But I am also very interested in hearing about your experience with EMDR. It's been really hard for me, but I'm trying to remain optimistic bc my psychiatrist and psychologist think it's a really good idea to better address and manage my symptoms long term. I have been doing it for a few months, but I also struggle with dissociation, so sometimes when the session is too much I float away. What has your experience been? I am curious to hear more if you are willing to share. I don't know anyone personally who has done EMDR so I was excited to find this app

Can someone share how to send a direct message? I'm new here and still figuring things out.

Long*

@Arielle that is so good to hear. How Ling have you been doing it? I've been doing it for 4 months.

I currently do EMDR and it’s been a godsend. Best thing I’ve ever done for myself.

I started EMDR this year. This is a great thread for me! I'm very interested to hear other's experiences.

I have dissociation and I've done EMDR. I've found it to be super helpful to be honest! I would especially recommend it if your dissociation is around traumatic experiences.

I looked it up after reading this, it's very intense it seems. Something I would not be able to do, but if you can more power to you! I did see studies that said it can help in and long and short term but that it takes awhile to work

EMDR was not good for me. Please consult with a multiple therapists before doing it.

I know someone who did EMDR for their childhood traumas and found it very useful.

I’ve done lots of emdr and it has helped me sooooo much.

I’ve only had a few sessions but I know what you’re talking about
