offers this & I will probably try it

at this point I'd stand on my head while eating cheezits and yodel the Brazilian national anthem if I thought it would help ;)))

When EMDR first came out it was rightly regarded with skepticism and considered an "alternative therapy."

Now that it has been proven effective in a sufficient number of double blind trials, however, it is no longer considered alternative. The APA and the Veterans Administration both include it in their therapy guidelines for PTSD, as do numerous international health organizations who treat victims of war and torture.

That doesn't guarantee it will work for everyone, but right now it is considered the most effective first course of treatment for PTSD.

I'm sorry it didn't work for you pilker, and I hope you were able to find something that did. I would caution you against Quackwatch though, Stephen Bennett is the worst kind of narcissist (see http://www.americanchiropractic.net/chiropractic/Quack%20Buster%20busted... for details). If you want to look up a procedure to see if it is legitimate, I recommend the Mayo Clinic website, or WebMD.

My therapist used this on me to help me get past certain triggering events. I have to say it did seem to help the physical symptoms of PTSD such as tightness in the chest.
