Emdr:healing Childhood Abuse


Over 25% of American women have been sexually abused as children and if untreated, suffer from the effects of the trauma into adulthood. The effects of sexual abuse may include but are not limited to depression, anxiety, nightmares, substance abuse, fear of intimacy, guilt, shame, promiscuity, destructive relationship patterns, inability to commit or sustain intimate relationships, irrational fears, a sense of a lack of meaning, feeling numb, an inability to trust others, a sense of restlessness and discontentment, an inability to achieve orgasm, and work addiction. The effects of childhood sexual abuse are far reaching.

Trauma therapy can help heal the effects of abuse by helping a person work through painful memories and reconnect thoughts and feelings that have become blocked. Debriefing or processing past trauma in a safe, supportive and nonjudgmental setting can help release what has not been expressed.

Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) is one method of clearing emotional and psychological channels. Dreams are another way of accessing what lies below the surface, as they often show us what we are not consciously aware of. Overtime, the “charge” that has been carried from the past can be released making way for growth and healing. Emphasis can be shifted from old baggage the past, as psychic energy is freed up, allowing a person to be present and able to look toward the future.

About 3 years ago I dropped into a black hole – four months of absolute terror. I wanted to end my life, but somehow [Holy Spirit], I reached out to a friend who took me to hospital. I had three visits [hospital] in four months – I actually thought I was in hell. I imagine I was going through some sort of metamorphosis [mental, physical & spiritual]. I had been seeing a therapist [1994] on a regular basis [and had just finished a year of EMDR], up until this point in time. I actually thought I would be locked away – but the hospital staff was very supportive [I had no control over my process]. I was released from hospital 16th September 1994, but my fear, pain & shame had only subsided a little. I remember this particular morning waking up [home] & my process would start up again [fear, pain, & shame]. No one could help me, not even my therapist [I was terrified]. I asked Jesus Christ to have mercy on me & forgive me my sins. Slowly, all my fear has dissipated & I believe Jesus delivered me from my “psychological prison.” I am a practicing Catholic & the Holy Spirit is my friend & strength; every day since then has been a joy & blessing. I deserve to go to hell for the life I have led, but Jesus through His sacrifice on the cross, delivered me from my inequities. John 3: 8, John 15: 26, are verses I can relate to, organically. He’s a real person who is with me all the time. I have so much joy & peace in my life, today, after a childhood spent in orphanages . God LOVES me so much. Fear, pain, & shame, are no longer my constant companions. I just wanted to share my experience with you [Luke 8: 16 – 17]. EMDR was the icing on the cake, for me. I wanted to live and was prepared to do anything to RECOVER that "Little Boy", who was lost for all those desperate, and lonely years. God helps those who help themselves.
Thank you, Jesus for being with me in my LONG DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL!! What I experienced was nothing compared with what you did for mankind - YOU died on a cross for our sins. I love you so much Jesus, because you LOVED me first. I was lost and was found.
PEACE BE WITH YOU
MICKY
