I had a conversation with the adoption social worker N* is working with. She called me for some information - and we got to talking about therapy N* would need through the adoption process.
I told her N* had seen a psychiatrist for six years, but I stopped wasting his time and my money when she refused to participate in therapy once she was released from the Residential Treatment Center (RTC).
SW asked me if I'd ever heard of EMDR therapy - she thought she may recommend this type of therapy to N*. I remember seeing a program on TV using EMDR therapy during the last year - but had no really thought much about it.
If anyone has had any experience with this, I'd appreciate knowing what you thought of the therapy, outcome, lasting success, etc.
If not, I thought I'd share something you may want to investigate for yourselves. It may be helpful to someone.
