Never Done: I started EMDR
I started EMDR therapy. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. I don't think I even know what to say about it yet, because it is so new, except that I think it might be one of the most useful modalities I have ever encountered.
I guess the thing I can say, from both ethical and also personal points of view, is that over the course of time that I spent in adoption classes, I realized that I still have some significant trauma to heal though, and that I wanted to take a big stab at it before starting to parent.
Deep breath.
I've a dear friend who is a therapist training to do EMDR with clients - it seems like a fantastic way to excise those demons. I actually wanted to do that myself...
ReplyDeleteOh wow. So far it's been incredibly useful. I will let you know how it goes as I continue! xo
