Title: legitimate reason to deny EMDR for PTSD? Post by: pilgrim on July 23, 2014, 12:54:36 AM I went to Kaiser HMO and requested EMDR because I think I have PTSD. I'm 5 years out of a long marriage to uBPDxw. Custody is 50/50. I have no personal contact with my ex, only email and sometimes text re kid issues.
I got this response from the Kaiser counselor: 'I checked with our PTSD therapist who felt that since your contact with ex-wife was still ongoing, it would not be appropriate or useful to use her form of EMDR therapy.' Does this make sense to anybody? If I have PTSD, shouldn't it be treated? Appreciate if you can advise how to respond to this. They sent me to a "PTSD group" instead. Groups are Kaiser's way of avoiding providing expensive individual treatment. Title: Re: legitimate reason to deny EMDR for PTSD? Post by: Xtrange on July 23, 2014, 06:01:11 PM There is a difference between PTSD and Complex PTSD (DESNOS).
I red somewhere else that EMDR is not recommended for C-PTSD. In Amazon there is a book with good reviews about it (I haven't read it yet) Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving Pete Walker www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HJBMDXK/ref=s9_simh_gw_p351_d6_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_r=0FYRMB35ZQZZ2R5MC8KV&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1688200422&pf_rd_i=507846 Title: Re: legitimate reason to deny EMDR for PTSD?
