A month or two ago, a therapist at Kids House mentioned I would probably find EMDR beneficial. I could not quite figure out what exactly it was but I was very clear that I had nothing to loose. During extreme trauma, the brain can go into a type of shock and can be stuck .... in the traumatic event which keeps replaying over and over. After one session ... I suddenly could focus on other aspects of my life and became productive again. I was unstuck. I still grieve yet that just one part of my life. There is joy and laughter along with the tears. This treatment is used for PTSD... veterans, law enforcement, child welfare, etc. I was recently told that in some circles there may be a stigma associated treatment related to the mind and thus go untreated. I share this video just to build awareness and continue to be transparent...
