I have several times…it’s amazing. I’m not a cryer, I’m a stuffer. EMDR gives me the permission and the ability to sit in the feelings and consequently grow. I can actually see and feel the growth

Thank you!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I resolved deep seeded traumatic memories and it changed my life. There are different process but I had greatest success with the hand-held buzzer system. Go for it!

Thank you for your feedback!

My therapist told me that EMDR, while anecdotally helpful, has not been scientifically validated. She advised that prolonged exposure (PE) and DBT-PE have become the gold standards for trauma.

Saw my therapist this past Friday and he gave me a useful trick to build better behavior patterns. Whenever you have work to do but would rather nap or something, tell yourself 3 negative effects of the nap and 3 positive effects of doing the work. You might still take the nap, but if you can get in the habit of thinking of it negatively, you'll take less naps when you need to be doing other things.

Doesn't matter what the activities are. Could be working out vs eating more, could be socializing IRL vs wasting time in FB (lol)
