Okay, got a truly niche question for you, hive mind!

How would you suggest someone who doesn't have mental images (#aphantsia #aphant) create a safe space in their mind to go to while doing #emdrtherapy #EMDR

Hey #mdma for #ptsd researchers. CBT and EMDR with and without medicine with #ketamine by mouth as the active placebo. And compare these to sertraline and paroxetine with and without CBT/EMDR then do crossover arms. This is not difficult. #fda #psychedelics #psychedelicresearch #psychedelic #research #cognitivebehavioraltherapy #psychedelicassistedtherapy #psychedelicassistedpsychotherapy #mdmaassistedtherapy #ptsd #cbt #emdr #trauma https://www.fda.gov/media/178984/download

EMDR for Dummies by Megan Salar, 2024

The Breakthrough Therapy for Overcoming Anxiety, Stress, and Trauma EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is now recognized as one of the most effective treatment modalities for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, and beyond.

A newer kind of therapy, #EMDR – eye movement desensitization and reprocessing – has been shown to help with all kinds of traumas and even chronic pain.

More studies are needed, but results so far are encouraging.

And speaking of #EMDR, I am now able to smell patchoulli without standing up, looking for guns, and panicking. (childhood episode on runway in Tripoli, probably)

I'm an immigrant. I want more immigrants in America. And not just the privileged kind my family were.
AND I want changes to the laws re visas, etc.
Barely related: I am so grateful for #EMDR and the #PTSD treatments that have removed my deportation fear.

I started #emdr therapy. Would love to talk about it with others, hear experiences.
