EMDR therapy may help with something like that.
- lisper 4y agoEMDR looks mighty hinky to me. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11393607/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11393607/ "In sum, EMDR appears to be no more effective than other exposure techniques, and evidence suggests that the eye movements integral to the treatment, and to its name, are unnecessary."
- theGnuMe 4y agoThat research is likely out of date.
- lisper 4y agoOut of date does not necessarily mean wrong. If you want to challenge this result the burden is on you to cite some more recent work with different results.
- theGnuMe 4y agoYou can simply google more recent things dude. You picked an article from 2001. Try 2021 or 2022. Clearly you have an agenda. But here's a case report showing a reduction in tics after EMDR. https://ijponline.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13052-019-0667-1 https://ijponline.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13052-...
- lisper 4y agoIn a single patient. Published in the Italian Journal of Pediatrics, which is not exactly a top-tier journal. If that's the best you've got, that makes me even more confident that EMDR is bogus. > Clearly you have an agenda. Indeed I do. My agenda is to seek the truth, and to debunk bogus scientific claims wherever I encounter them.
- theGnuMe 4y agoThere is growing evidence that EMDR works. If you can't find any articles yourself and read the literature well then it is your loss. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2019.02185/full https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2019.0218...
- howinteresting 4y agoThese days EMDR is a synecdoche for bilateral stimulation techniques. Eye movements aren't actually integral to EMDR.
- lisper 4y agoThat doesn't make it any less bogus.
- howinteresting 4y agoThere's plenty of anecdotal experience saying it's been helpful. I've tried it personally and I found it "too much" which is why I stopped.
