EDMR therapy

[Gerri]

I am very interested in discussing EDMR therapy for BPD.  There is a highly acclaimed EDMR therapist where I live and I am wondering if anyone has any experience with this type of therapy for BPD.  My 20 y/o daughter is going to a therapist and has started a DT group.  I have heard positive things re EDMR (have experienced myself for PTSD and found it helpful.)  Any thoughts?

Our objective is to better understand the struggles our child faces and to learn the skills to improve our relationship and provide a supportive environment and also improve on our own emotional responses, attitudes and effectiveness as a family leaders

I took my daughter who is BPD to an EMDR therapist when she was a teenager and it was very effective for her. Really very dramatic. I would just take her when things were in a really bad place and she would emerge lighter and reset. Back then I didn't know she had BPD just that she would get very negative and hopeless and dark.

I've tried it for myself for PTSD and I didn't really get a whole lot out it for whatever reason - I know other people do though.
