I am new to this room it has been 30 yrs since my ordeal, and the flashbacks are coming in like storm. I am in therapy the memories are so repressed that I really can't talk about it. My therapist told me to write about it, but i can't even do that. I have had this sudden wave of anger that has into rage so they put me on anti-depressants till I work through it. The talking therapy isn't really working so my counselor wants to try EMDR has anyone had that treatment? I'm scared of how i might react. But I've got to get this out. In 30yrs I've never talked about the sexual abuse. It is hard for me to even say it let alone talk about it.

heathbar. Welcome. I've been away for a few days so I just saw your post.

You sound like me! I've stuffed down what happened to me for decades and it started bubbling up with flashbacks and anxiety earlier this year. I'm 42 and my ordeal started at 2. I think I can relate to what you are going through.

I'm not familiar with EMDR, so I can't comment on that. But again, welcome.
