I just finished a year of EMDR. Has anyone else done it? My life has changed totally and I feel like a new person in so many ways. The underlying tensions I used to carry around within me are gone...funny before the tensions left I really didn't know I had them. I thought that it was common to be so tense. Feed back anyone?

Hi, I did EMDR a few years ago for a molestation/rape at 7. I thought it was a molestation but my therapist at the time said it was a rape!
I liked EMDR, it really helped a lot.
How did you do EMDR? My therapist used her finger and went back and forth in front of my eyes, until I was able to connect and work through what I needed to.
I'm glad it helped for you:-)> I just finished a year of EMDR. Has anyone else done it? My life has changed totally and I feel like a new person in so many ways.

At first my therapist did tapping on my knees but this was hard on her physically. so we went to the tones with the earphones, I was worried it wouldn't work but I got used it. I know only a few people who were helped by this method and wondered if there were more people out there.

EMDR worked really well for me, in dealing with a recent mugging, because I had a vivid recollection of the scene. It didn't work so well for childhood stuff, because it was all blurred together, really, like a generic memory rather than a specific event. Getting that triggering memory to "start the tapes rolling" seems to be an important element of success with this method.
For sure, though, exceedingly cathartic. I think I weighed half as much when I walked out after a session, I felt so unburdened.
