EMDR Is Still Dubious

My therapist really wants to try EMDR with me. I’m a little leery. I feel like I don’t know enough about it.

I remember stopping the antipsychotic at the end of 2019 and starting EMDR therapy until mid-2020. EMDR reduced my negative symptoms and eliminated my social phobia. I highly recommend it.

EMDR stopped my drug and alcohol cravings too.

It is fantastic!

Man, I wish. I still want weed too often. It has been helpful for dealing with child abuse trauma. Really took the edge off of it. Useless as tits on a bull for any SZ symptoms.

Hey man .do you think it would work for truma from delusions? I won’t go into details but the way I experienced my break was extremely traumatizing…

I honestly don’t know.

EMDR has been characterized as a pseudoscientific purple hat therapy (i.e., only as effective as its underlying therapeutic methods without any contribution from its distinctive add-ons).[11][12]

Ok…I’m gonna ask my therapist about it. I’ve heard of it before but never understood how it worked.

It is supposed to work for most unprocessed trauma so I don’t see why not.
