[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 728126, member: 18284"] Sam3 -- I feel similarly. It was profoundly helpful (even after the 1st session........I kept looking for that "hyper-vigilant" sensation in me, but it was 90% gone?) without me knowing specifically why. And the more I practiced EMDR, the more I trusted the process. I've heard various comments on why EMDR "might" be effective in many: 1) EMDR mimics REM sleep with eye movements (which can aid in memory processing -- getting "unstuck" from past) 2) EMDR may allow a form of less traumatic Systematic Desensitization to unfold 3) Who knows? All I know is that I like it and it clearly, tangibly helps me! Check it out online. EMDR was widely used after the 9/11 terrorist attack in NYC. I seem to recall a study showing that nearly 700/800 first responders showed significant, long-term relief after 9/11 using EMDR. I'll look for that study and post it when I find it again. Again, this may not be for everyone. But it is for me. I'd never heard of EMDR prior to 3 months ago. It was suggested to me by a counselor friend. And it's too big of a gift for me not to share it with others who may be interested in it for themselves or for someone they love. KTMom91 & Sam3 -- So glad to hear it worked for you and/or your loved ones! [/QUOTE]
