@DownMoreThanUp wow that is amazing about the veteran. 

My doctor suggested that I do some 

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy,  but when I started looking into it. I came across some people that said it was the worst decision they ever made and one guy ended up in hospital so traumatised.  Here is a link from one person.

Then I came across a TED talk about Psychedelic therapy and it sounded very interesting.

[REDLINEZ750]

im being steered toward EMDR only after i do a year of DBT training to ensure im ready to @Mustang67 just cant start till new year already signed off and all that

[Mustang67]

@REDLINEZ750 all I remember from the couple of times that I used it as a teenager, was that I was tired & hungry and more inclined to get laid. Lol

cough cough no comment 😂 @Mustang67

@REDLINEZ750 I am hoping that if it is being done by a trained professional the EMDR therapy could work.

But some of the negative things I have read have turned me off from it. I don't need to be retraumatised while doing therapy that is supposed to help me.

@REDLINEZ750 thank you for making me have a good laugh😅🤣😂

My psychologist that i trust totally and believe from her actions not just words cares about my existance put EMDR in a way i understood it before i got into it.

she said  they want to activate your trauma response deliberately and show you its controlable.

thats emdr in a nutshell.

it is definetly dangerous @Mustang67  yet has worked in those that are prepared

[Mustang67]

@REDLINEZ750 yes I think that's the key. To use someone that knows how to prepare you for it. I know it is a while away for you, but I truly hope it works for you.
