[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 270273, member: 7083"] Suz, it depends on the level of trauma, I believe. It can take a long time because for those moderately to severely affected, they first have to work on building inner resources so that the patient can deal with the therapy and the memories it invokes. And sometimes the therapy has to be backed off as more resources are needed, and then started again. I'm having trouble finding my words so I'm not explaining it well, but that's how my former therapist explained it to me. The gist of it anyway. And that's why I couldn't tolerate the therapy when I tried it. I didn't have the inner resources to cope with it. My coping mechanism has always been to bury it, which works great until something comes along to shake me up. Then I'm a mess. Here's the website given to me by that therapist: [URL]http://www.emdria.org/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
