EMDR

[Parents! Get help here!]

Anyone have success with EMDR for BPD?  I'm curious as my daughter started EMDR recently.  She doesn't believe it is working, but so far she has only had one session.  She is resistant to have another session.  She has been having a tough few weeks at her therapeutic boarding school and I'm wondering if it is bringing up some difficult things for her that she might not even be conscious of.

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

Hi BPDmom1,

No EMDR experience with my daughter though my stepson (military) did have some success with it to manage PTSD.

Here is a topic to explore re EMDR:
