EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitising and Reprocessing)

Jenny Butterfly

Just noticing a few mentions of EMDR in the Autism Summit, especially the Samatha Stein one, so I got reminded of the video she did a while go and thought it might be useful to others too.

  • I have my first EMDR appointment with IAPTS tomorrow for CPTSD. I had some EMDR privately in the past where we investigated my 'trauma'. I wasn't really convinced that this trauma could have such a profound effect on me.  There was something else. While waiting for an appointment (over a year), I became friends with a guy with ADHD and OCD, so I did some research and found a series of videos comparing differences and commonalities between various mental health conditions and ASD.  The Venn diagrams appealed to me :) That was my omg moment.  I did some more research, for myself this time and I began to realise that, if I remove my trauma from the equation and added ASD, my life might well have turned out the same and I would probably be facing the same struggles.  I don't know if I should mention ASD tomorrow.  I'll probs start a new thread as I've waffled enough.  EMDR is very interesting. Mind-bogglingly so. Expect to hear the word Amygdala a lot L)
