Anyone here ever had trauma?
Well besides Chiefs trauma that is (looking at you 2013 Indy playoff collapse).
I’m currently helping my friend who has been in deep trauma for over a month. His dad has Alzheimer’s and a month ago he didn’t know who his son was anymore which has triggered severe PTSD symptoms for my friend. Now I’ve read he’ll likely have triggers sporadically for the rest of his life regarding this. I would not ever wish this shit on my worst enemy. It’s ****ing horrific. My friend begins EMDR on Thursday. I’ve read good things about it. If anyone has ever had EMDR let me know. Hoping for the best |

Yes. My anxiety and depression stem from trauma I experienced when I was younger.
I don't know much about EMDR, but I hope it is helpful for him. |

I think everyone has had trauma in their life. Don't know any thing about EMDR, but it has 4 letters which is never a good thing.
Personally would rather take the Mike Tyson approach of a huge handful of shrooms and see where it landed me. |

EMDR apparently helps put your past trauma in the past and help reduce triggers and pain so you can move forward with life

In 2020, voters in the U.S. state of Oregon passed Ballot Measure 109, allowing the "manufacture, delivery and administration" of psilocybin, a naturally occurring psychedelic prodrug. While psilocybin remains illegal nationally, the passage of the law made Oregon the first U.S. state to legalize the drug.ETA: The chief petitioners behind the bill were Sheri and Thomas Eckert, both therapists who had been working for years to legalize psilocybin because of its potential benefit for people struggling with conditions including depression, anxiety, and addiction.

EMDR is Eye Movement Desensitizing and Reprocessing. It can help some with PTSD, but it is hit or miss. It's a very simple thing, nothing major. It's a form of hypnosis almost, involving moving eyes back and forth with sounds or taps, usually looking at moving lights. You are supposed to focus on the trauma, and the hypnosis desensitizes you. It can be for a short period after the session, or possibly longer. The science behind it is debated though.

Nope. I'm perfect, and so are my parents and everyone I've ever come across. Especially my ex-wife.
