Anxiety. Change your environment, find the place where you don't need to worry about anything anymore, and you are healed. Leave behind all the people who try to make you feel fear.

Dr Amen isn’t a joke. His book “ change your brain change your life.” changed my life. I’ll always smile when I see or hear him.

[@ChrisEbz]

Wow I just realized I have this book and never read it!! It was a family members. So glad I saw this comment lol. So exited to pull it out. Was my father's, psychology/English major. Makes sense.

I just started EMDR and excited to rid myself of years of fear and anxiety. I have also been doing hypnosis which is awesome too!

[@activeandattentivelife]

Thank you for sharing your experience!

[@anthonyriche552]

EMDR & Hypnosis are a powerful combination!!

[@CorySpitznagel]

Hello! Awesome to hear you are starting this journey! I was wondering if your insurance covered any part of the therapy and if not how expensive it is? I am very interested in trying this out to help out with some lifelong trauma I’ve dealt with due to childhood experiences. Thank you and good luck!

[@IsaacCordingley]

Can you share more? I'd love to hear about it!

[@sunburstrose7860]

Not sure about EMDR, but being lucky enough to have a loving, supportive partner who is your best friend, probably is more helpful than anything. Lucky man. Lucky wife.

[@wagenna]

EMDR is incredibly effective! I have BPD, NPD, cPTSD and an anxiety disorder and EMDR has helped me tremendously. If you are suffering from trauma, it can be a life changer. For me, at least, it was! All the best!

[@ccaselli7]

Did u go to a practitioner, or can u do it urself?

[@wagenna]

Omg! BPD + Npd?? How!!!😮

[@Yo-xx6lh]

I did emdr, it literally changed my life. I’d had it since 2 years old. It is a miracle, it’s unbelievable. I wish everybody in the world was required to do it because people don’t even know how traumatized they are.

[@pubglitegaming5602]

Offline emdr?

[@cherylm5002]

I"ve been going food foraging and my eyes have to keep moving left and right searching while my mind is totally focused on finding food items. It has been the best EMDR therapy. Try it, it works and it's free with the added benefit of getting natural healthy 🙂 food

[@Gr8ficus]

You are right. When you are in nature, resolution happens naturally. I am concerned about the current generation focused on devices.

[@davidg11235]

I do believe it works. But keep in mind EMDR therapists typically charge very high rates (eg $400 for an hour), and it attracts practitioners who have an attitude that they are going to sort of “turn a screwdriver” and “fix” you. Foundational skills like making the client feel safe and seen (which are already too scarce among psychotherapists) may be lacking due to lack of emphasis or practice. A good EMDR therapist will have a waiting list. I haven’t found the right person.

[@shakeyj4523]

When there is no scientific evidence to support that half your therapy does anything, they have not right to charge that. The EM does nothing, and the DR has been around for decades. Shapiro was a second rate psychologist and a first rate marketer. What you are seeing is good business, not good therapy.

[@333robsta]

It helped me. I did sessions with a therapist. Now I do it myself using emdr music on KZbin. Once you get the hang of it, you can do it alone.

[@siobhanrose1680]

An issue I have found is that extreme masking, and dissociation really, severely hinders EMDR. My therapist tried it with me about a year ago, and I couldn’t release myself from my binding (masking) enough for it to take effect, and my brain would not be engaged enough ie, I would dissociate. Even though we had spent months previously trying to give myself the tools to not dissociate. I also have a very weak minds eye (ie imagining/envisioning things, is hard for me.), and much of my trauma is now buried. 15-20yrs ago, it was at the surface, but after 15-20yrs of burying it to get on with life and raise kids as best I could, the events (of which there are many) are so deeply integrated, that I feel the pain physically, but am entirely removed from the event. EMDR was something that excited me so much, because I heard all these amazing stories. It did not work for me, yet. I am in the process of starting ISTDP therapy, and hopefully that will get things moving, and maybe I can return to EMDR.

[@NaomiEFT]

Try clinical EFT with a qualified trained professional

[@tobik2627]

It didn’t work for me too. Had multiple session. I think it works best with singular traumatic events and not with growing up in a dysfunctional environment

[@carmagurl317]

Greatpoint. Health professionals really need to stop advertising mental health treatments as a one size fits all. We humans are complex !! I hope you find some things that work for you soon. ❤

[@joettadefrancesco709]

EMDR saved me. Best therapy of my life.

[@grg88888]

I think that in some cases therapy can work but if anxiety etc.. is caused by physical/ chemical issues and genetics its like asking a person with a broken leg to move their limb in a different way to treat their issues. It denies the physical causes of these issues because of the automatic dualistic mentality that we all have about the mind, which is really the physical brain. All therapy does not have good evidence because you cannot have good trials for it. The patient knows they are receiving a specific treatment, there is no placebo control. When you follow these patients 2 years post therapy regardless of what king >90% are right where they started off.

[@letsgetrealwithyanky]

In my experience, Doing 10 years of EMDR didn't accomplish nearly as much as one psychedelic therapy session did.

[@tommyoneill2730]

Can you elaborate more on your experience currently at 6yrs in therapy struggling with fears of loss and anxiety in relationships. How exactly has it healed you please 🙏

[@johnnydark4802]

"Argue with reality, welcome to hell"..Best quote i´ve heard.

[@M-i-k-a-e-l]

EMDR does work for some, for others not. One shouldn't advertise any method as a panacea or a miracle cure. For some people trauma can go together with deep existential processes that their soul may have come here to go through at the deepest possible level and to 'remedy' it or aim to clear symtoms away, may not actually be in the highest interest from a soul perspective. We are all different and should always be aware that when we meet others and ask "what is this human experiencing and what is the divine will in all this, can I be of any help as a giver or reciever here, please holy spirit show me" and then engage in whatever method or technique we're into.

[@AmzMusic11]

Wow never thought of it like this, very interesting comment.

EMDR didn’t work for me at all

[@schoolofgrowthhacking]

He’s spreading some falsehoods about psychedelics, bad trips are not necessarily bad for you. I had one this summer unexpectedly in Nepal. It is very frightening when you are going through it, but the effect it has on your life as a whole is what you make of it. For me it fast forwarded me to the last moments of my life and I had to confront the things I was avoiding that were holding me back. The scary part of it was losing control and feeling like I could die at any moment.

[@nesskerr9171]

This is a very similar to Hypnotherapy which is described as 'Short Term Result Oriented Therapy'.

[@shovelhead4558]

It’s how you are helped after EMDR therapy to adjust to life again.

I heard that it works for OCD too, but I am afraid of it as I hage false memory OCD, and I heard EMDR can induce false memories...

Super interesting! Would love to try it. I think it would help me a lot.

Getting any mental help here in Alaska where I live is non existent . No one does this therapy.

[@PolishBehemoth]

you have the most beautiful landscapes in north america. And the cold oxygen is so pure. You dont need that much therapy. Whats wrong with you? Just stare at nature and breathe deeply and be happy!

[@ArkRavenSun]

I also live in a forested area with fresh air. (which I'm grateful for). AND, I grew up in an abusive family and have required trauma therapy. It's called "being human"...anywhere on planet earth!@@PolishBehemoth

[@lilysunshine7604]

Everybody deserves support and help when needed. Your mental health is very important. I hope you can find it online. Sending you lots of love! Take care of yourself!

[@Shelly-cp7gj]

I grew up in Alaska but have lived away for many decades. I’m sorry to hear that when Alaska surely needs good care as much or more than any place in the states. I remember health care generally sucked back in the 80s and 90s when I was involved with family there. My grandma would come stay with me in Seattle to get healthcare. And I can imagine, also, that the “rugged individualism” machismo along with alcoholism as typical can really make it hard to even realize your trauma. Sending you big love as you prioritize your self care and healing.

[@jenynz5334]

​@@PolishBehemothWow, that was really insensitive.

[@wendym2544]

What is the definition of trauma? I mean what all could be considered trauma? Could anyone give me some examples? Thank you.

[@kalleskit]

Google is your friend, friend :)

[@carmagurl317]

trauma is pretty much anything/experience that chips away or ruins your fundamental sense of safety. Loose definition but hope that helps.

[@carmagurl317]

Some examples would be sudden big changes like death, a breakup, being attacked, failing at something or long term things like a bad relationship or work environment etc. Basically if you feel it chipped away at who you are, it could be trauma.

[@Unknowntodayandtomorrow]

Trauma is what happened inside of you because of the experience you went through. Dr gabor mate talks about it perfectly.

[@instanta2693]

I started EMDR with a therapist and she and her advisor (they have to have one regardless of their seniority) decided to end it because according to them I wasn’t processing it well enough and would fall into a dark space and retraumatize…I disagreed and wanted to continue but they just wouldn’t. Months later I do feel I have a more calm nervous system so while I had some touch and tear ridden sessions, the positive effects took a while to set in. Pity that the psychologists of today are so fear ridden and not letting the patient riding it out.
