As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
If you’ve got a lot of trauma, repressed rage, anger, depression, etc… I know a person who says they know multiple people that say EMDR changed their life forever. If you’ve got those things, I truly reccomend trying EMDR. People can literally get diseases from not processing grief and more issues from all of these things.
Imo EMDR is far better than checking out. I can also see it being good for people who think about treating complex trauma through psychedelics, but can’t/don’t want to trip.
that sounds interesting, i don’t believe I’ve ever heard of it
There are at least a few methods. It’s best to look it up. I was told EMDR specialists are somewhat rare because they need a high level of training, so it could be ideal to try it with one first.
