Healing Trauma with EMDR

[@juliea.244]

This needs to be taught in high school & to every MD. Very few people understand the mind & the workings of the sub-conscious mind. I am aware only because I was determined to find out "why" my family was the way they were & why I am the way I am. I am a believer it has everything to do with our health & how our minds run our lives. I recently delved into the understanding of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (my mom) it runs in her family, the results are evident. My brother was suicidal at a young age, and I have struggled with my life in certain patterns, and this same thing is seen all along my mom's siblings & unfortunately their families. I'm trying to do self-work & awareness of what is deep within from childhood, as I now know, emotional abuse, criticism, control, conditional love & traumatic events. I went thru a major portion of my life not knowing the "why". I also took care of my mom for some years, so I was around the toxicity as an adult. This video gave me a great realization about myself - the emotional brain overtakes...scanning for fears, threats, etc..(survival mode which I always feel). I now know that insecurity is deep within, I felt that as a child, my parents were not loving, my father was distant, my mother was cold, manipulating, critical & chronic worrier, and there was no one I felt safe with or felt I could turn to. My brother was older & bulled me. We both have trouble with relationships...not surprised now that I understand what happened to us.

Just listening to the description of this treatment brought me a sense of relief. It reminded me of Ozzy Osbourne's song "Therapy" where the music moves left to right and back.

I was told my a astrologer that my 'Compound PTSD' could not be healed any other way than this. How can I access this healing please?

look for an EMDR practictioner in your area. Maybe just google it will do .

Thank you for this. Last night I had an incident & nearly choked myself to death after a rage reaction on FB. I had notwatched much of this, but this morning remembered & the comment about 'super human strength' triggered me to a rage once when I threatened to put my brother's head through the concrete swimming pool wall & I KNEW I had the strength to do it. Your comments have shown me why the PSTD brings out my rage & seeing the brain in that way helps me to not to hate myself so much for the things I do, under the influence. My doctor once told me I was in continual flight or fight & would always need medication, but I stopped when I became "born again", but my Christianity has worn off I am again having to deal with myself. This will help I'm sure!

You get an A+ for subject content.. and it's appropriate-ness to our cultures forced narration.. humanity does not have the leisure of censoring ones emotions.. sending the message that help is on the way is critical to those barely hanging on.. God Bless your hearts..

The hypothesis was proposed (ChrissMartinson)that it was the inability to admit when mistakes had been made.. that cascaded into the current policies, in light of how devastating and damaging those policies were to the poor and middle class..
