[QUOTE="Star*, post: 162740, member: 4964"] Timer - I had such traumatic events with my x and the abuse that I could not function well day to day. I would have these almost catatonic states where I would hear/smell/see something that was a trigger and - bam - off I'd go. It became dangerous for me to function day to day and the worse Dude's behavior was the worse it became for me. SO I did EMDR. I did it 2x a month because you really can not or rather I couldnt' process that much memory in a month. Too much, too bad even with 12 years of therapy under my belt. And I could probably use more, but I'm finally at a place where I'm comfy with what I mentally got rid of and what is still in there that may never come out. If it does - I've got my little movie theater to process in where I'm totally safe. Know what I mean?? It helped Dude to a point - but when they got to the point where he was left in that place by his biodad - he shut down, blacked out, and passed out. Whatever happened to him was so traumatic it has ruined his behaviors for years. The doctor said they may try again at a later date - but for now Dude has closed that door and won't "play the movie" in his head to work on it. Can't blame him, but I absolutely praise EMDR therapy. I've overcome a lot doing it. [/QUOTE]
