Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Anyone have experience? good? bad?
I had one session close to a year ago, followed by a few therapy sessions...but then i stopped going to therapy- now i can't seem to get past the stuff that was brought up in the session.
I wanted to continue, but money was my main problem. But, truthfully i think i was scared to confront a few experiences that i know i need to deal with, but haven't
did you know what you were getting into with EMDR? Was it helpful? Did you get through what you think you needed to?

Although I was hesistant, I was willing to give it a try. This psychologist, told me her sessions took "as long as needed"...anywhere from 1 hr to more, until she felt the trauma had dissapeared...we worked together for about 2 1/2 hrs; and although reliving the experiences was hard and emotional...I can actually say it worked!!!
I have a really bad "rat phobia" so she said she could help me with that as well...so I plan to make an appt. in the near future to take care of that...
Feel free to contact me for any questions you may have...I'd be happy to share my experience w/you!
Good-luck!
