EMDR saved me as a child right out of an abusive home.

I tried it but the therapist I had wanted to move to quickly with it, and it was way to intense for me. I think it would work better now that I'm not in active crisis all the time, but that bad experience made me not want to try it again, even though I have a better therapist now.

Yeah, and it’s actually helped a lot. It can be intimidating though, at least I think so

I'm doing it now and it gets intense at moments. But my therapist is really good and stops if I need too. The flashbacks can happen so make sure you have solid coping skills tools or a person to reach out to in a crisis situation. Thats my bit of advise. Good Luck if you choose it but it is a good release!

I tried it for a few months and honestly it didn’t work for me, but I tried a different version of it called havening and that was an absolute MIRACLE! Definitely look into havening for ptsd!
