EMDR - has anyone tried it and found it helpful

Kate Kestrel

Hello everyone,

I’m considering trying to access EMDR to help me deal with a traumatic experience/PTSD. 
Has anyone tried EMDR - what was it like and did you find it helpful? 

i can’t seem to get any therapy on the NHS (at least not without waiting for over a year) - I can’t really afford to pay privately but might have to as I really need help. I don’t want to waste what little money I have on EMDR if it’s not likely to help. 

has anyone had a good experience with EMDR? 
thanks

    I’m glad that you’ve managed to get referred for this from the NHS - I haven’t been able to. I also have ptsd and anxiety. I suppose it must depend slightly on which area you live - a bit of a postcode lottery maybe. I really hope it works for you when you finally get this therapy. I’d really appreciate you posting on here how it goes once you’ve tried it. 
    ptsd and severe anxiety is so hard to live with - I’m sorry you’re struggling with this too. Take care, and good luck.
