I really need some hope and advice, iv enquired for intensive, and it is costly private, but my body right now is in shurdown, I feel exhausted, eyes heavy from sometic eye lock and minutes are feeling like hours, my skeep is hard as when nighttime comes my body doesn't let its guard down.

If im rejected for the intensive then my onlt option is to brute force myself through the discomfort thru vigorous work and sleep. I see no other option in making my body feel safe and turning of the threat signals.

Has anyone been in a deep functional freeze and managed to get lasting results from emdr intensive, or even weekly sessions.

I just think intensive is best for me as I want quicker results rather than getting to the end of thr session feeling more safe and then having to shurdown until the next session?

Looking for some insight into you guys that have experienced sometic pain in the body somewhere, where the trauma energy has got trapped and has caused localised sometic pain.

In terms of getting releif and ridding your body of that locked energy, how quickly or how effective was emdr with this?

Specifically im not talking about processing actual trauma but more rhe sometic pain that comes from it. Or is processing the trauma the only way to releive the somatic pain?

Thanks

Question as title says, how quickly were you able to feel relief from EMDR?

I currently feel physically strong at times but mentally flat as if my emotions are offline, I have globus sensation most of the day (lump in throat) which feels like being strangled at times, and also a lot of eye tension from hyper vigilance.

I have a first EMDR private appointment tomorrow, how quick can I expect relief?
