[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 270059"] Ah... I am doing so well in my therapy that I only go every 3 weeks. However, my therapist is an expert in EMDR. For those who are interested, I would only go to someone who is certified and it probably is best to have done your homework on this. Ask around. Find someone with experience. Note: It is a controversial treatment. Many professionals feel it is bogus. However, some people feel they have greatly benefited from it. I know a physician (MD), who told me it helped him a lot. He is a brialliant man, although somewhat quirkly. I saw a film on EMDR recently and was very impressed. Previously, I was never interested. I mentioned this to my therapist. Last time we met, we discussed doing it. Trouble is...time. So, things are up in the air. I think in time, it will happen. I am healthy and happy (knock on wood, thank G-d)...there is no rush. If we do it...I'll post. In the film I saw...several people...were studied. Many were anxious, depressed, fearful and angry. After their treatments...they were very different people...happy, relaxed, friendly and optimistic. I don't recall the # of treatments....do not think it was an excessive amount...perhaps 6...but I am guessing. There are several good books on the topic and if you have a strong interest, you can YOU TUBE fairly good video. In the video I saw (not you tube...it was a very long video), participants started with the "karate chop" tapping and would repeat several times things like..."Even though I am in physical pain, I am a good and wonderful person." They would move to other parts of their body. I don't really know the difference between EMDR and tapping...their seems to be a correlation. Surely, the positive affirmations are powerful. The body touching/pounding is thought to have some effect...perhaps similar to acupuncture. (????). It surely is interesting. Go to you tube and put in EMDR or tapping, you'll find video. [/QUOTE]
