There is a way to deal with the intolerable conflict that can resolve the PTSD...I agree, hesitant to do EMDR.
I was in private practice when Francine Shapiro presented her theories. She said that she learned it while walking through the woods, and noticed that as she was walking and seeing the light and dark fluctuate that she began to feel "better" than she 'had felt before. She did her PhD dissertation on this.
Later on, not only alternating light, but also alternating "tapping" one leg and the other was added.... and later yet, there was more added that it also had a lot to do with the therapeutic relationship the client had with the practitioner.
My Christian psychologist in my clinic, and I, were pretty much alone in our area in our concern that it just seems like a type of programming.
Yes, I agree, it is all too vague for me.
I highly recommend brainspotting over edmr. Edmr is like activing every PTSD trigger all at once, and is kinda overload. If you can find a good brainspotting therapist it's much easier. The therapist is in tune with your emotions and state of mind and you can tackle one piece of trauma at a time instead of all of it hitting you at once with the edmr lights.
I had CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) to help treat PTSD. Genuinely didn't want to finish my sessions! Helped a hell of a lot! Wish you all the best.
I do emdr with my husband to help him after studying it. It helps him tremendously with his ptsd and mine too. I do it similarly to glompywompy. One thing at a time.
This makes me so hesitant to do EMDR. But my PTSD is leaving me in fight or flight 24/7, and it’s no way to live.
