For sure. It’s impossible to quantify results scientifically with this. I’m not saying dump years into it if you’re not seeing results, but I do know people personally that this has been life changing for. You are the only one in charge of your brain, though, so if you don’t believe it’s going to work you’ll never allow it to. Sounds like he is optimistic in finding results if he’s taken the first major step to give it a try at least.

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.

Yes. I had/have PTSD. Went to therapy. Didn't end up going through EDMR, though it was recommended.
I'm in a better place now than I was before. Actually getting help is something that shouldn't be stigmatized. |

Update: my friend did EMDR but they started all the way back to childhood. He said it was so crazy bc he had memories come up that he hasn’t thought of in 20 years. He likened it to going to your attic and finding things you forgot you had.
He said it’s helped his brain process things and give him better closure. I’m gonna get this done for some shit in my childhood.

Both of my parents have passed away (my mom from cancer 9 years ago and my dad from cancer in Feb, and I'm not even 40 yet). I'm an only child and still single. Things have been pretty rough at times, but I'm getting bye. Definitely not looking forward to the holidays...don't know if it counts as "trauma" or not.

He was told to relax as if he was looking out of the window in silence on a car trip. He held a vibrating hand piece in each hand that did specific vibrations. These vibrations help your brain with processing and triggering the amygdala which is the part of the brain that holds fear and fearful memories

Definition of trama is very different than it was just a few years ago. With that said, if someone feels like they are having a difficult time coping, dealing with it, obsessing on the issue.
Get help. It is ok. Especially as we get older. The brain has less capability to respond to change. (from my doctor and therapist) I am on Sertraline. Less than I was two years ago, but it helps. I got away from the triggers too. Nothing to be ashamed of.

Anyone here ever had trauma?
I have done some brief EMDR with clients over the years. It’s not some magical fix for trauma, as no therapeutic method is, but it can be beneficial for a time for people who have really buried traumatic things, refuse to consider them, or are so overwhelmed by feelings when discussing trauma that they can’t hardly even get words out to provide necessary information. I am not a specialist in it so I don’t have any unique tools but have asked people to do things like finger tapping or following a light with their eyes.
It’s use is really determined by the client and their challenges as opposed to being something that can be applied to anyone and just assume it will work. The basic goal is for people to talk about and feel the unprocessed trauma differently than they have by making them focus on the task, which ideally forces them to take a step back from all of the negative thoughts and emotions so you aren’t constantly overwhelmed with emotions preventing any sort of improvement. Simply recalling things or thinking or feeling differently about them doesn’t mean improvement though. It can be relieving to get those things out there but ultimately the client still has to work through the thoughts and feelings ti find improvement in their daily functioning. |

The worst PTSD I ever saw was a friend of one of my buddies that I met a couple of times - he had been a combat medic with a SEAL team, so on top of being a medic he had some SEAL training. He saw some serious action but wouldn't talk about it. He was a little guy, but in peak physical condition and very intense, and holy shit anything could set him off. I liked him; he was a really nice guy underneath all that damage. As I said before I only met him a couple of times, and never had a chance to get close to him.
Despite his qualifications he couldn't hold a job; something would always happen to trigger his temper and he'd get whacked. He drifted from place to place, until he finally killed himself a couple of years ago. Either he never tried to get help or it just didn't take. Such a waste. |
