EMDR.........

So there is a popular therapy and effective therapy out there called EMDR and it is specifically for trauma......and treating the active PTSD kinds of things we encounter in our lives......I have had a few things in my life that caused that before this happened but definitely this situation caused psychological trauma in me, multiple times, that I am interested in fully healing......my therapist does EMDR and we had tried it once when I was visiting his office, but I have been speaking with him over the phone during the pandemic, but am looking forward to possibly soon resuming our sessions......it has great success and can be life changing for people to fully rid themselves of the trauma they carry around in their day to day.....or trauma that is hidden there, affecting their lives without realizing it.......the premise is that people can recover from deep psychological trauma much more quickly using this therapy compared to traditional therapy......the brain's information processing system naturally moves toward mental health.....just as our physical bodies want to move toward healing too, and if the system is blocked or imbalanced due to a disturbing event, it can cause a wound that festers, similarly to a physical wound on our physical body.....Once that block is removed by way of this particular type of therapy.....healing occurs nearly fully and with very few sessions......much more effectively than talk therapy.....it is an intense therapy that gets to the root of your trauma and allows a release of that space......the research is astounding on it....in one 100% of single trauma folks and 77% of multiple trauma folks, these people were no longer diagnosed with PTSD or having trauma impact their lives after only six 50 minute sessions.......kind of remarkable.....It is a sort of complicated thing to fully explain but my therapist is well versed in it, and I trust it will help.......in my mind I don't think that healing will elude me if I never try this method......I feel so much more healed now even........and instinctively know the things that help me.......but trauma is tricky.....it lies dormant......until something comes to prick it......and you just never know what and how long it will stay there lying in the shadows.......and for me I am committed to doing any and all things to make my life as good as it can be, given the circumstances I have been given......so the fact that I have access to this method is most certainly a gift.......and despite the intense nature of it.......I am excited at the benefits I will find from it......so if you are reading this and you too have suffered some kind of traumatic event check it out.....and see if it makes sense for you in your healing journey too....will be sharing as it unfolds in my blog along the way:)
