EMDR Treatment??

Hi Everyone,
I met with a new social worker yesterday who is running a trauma yoga group.

In talking with her, she mentioned that EMDR treatment can be highly successful. Has anyone had success with this or know anything about it?

Thanks!
Meg

I definitely recommend EMDR, no matter how much time has passed. EMDR is known to provide the fastest recovery.

I have only had 3 sessions of EMDR and I can sleep almost the entire night. Before I would wake up after a couple of hours and would not be able to sleep again due to the stress.

You should not be afraid of EMDR. Look for a certified therapist - one who is certified in EMDR. She/he will make sure you are OK during the treatment.

Thanks Al!!

That means a lot to hear.I got fired from my job for forgetting too many details and for crying at the drop of a hat. My boss hasn't given up on me if I can show her I'm stronger.... just trying to do everything I can.

I am glad I could help.

Let us know if you have found an EMDR therapist.

Thanks. Hugs, - Al

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
