Hey #mdma for #ptsd researchers. CBT and EMDR with and without medicine with #ketamine by mouth as the active placebo. And compare these to sertraline and paroxetine with and without CBT/EMDR then do crossover arms.

"Forscher untersuchten den Effekt von EMDR Reprozessieren, Imaginal Exposure (IE) und Imagery
Rescripting (ImR) auf die Gedächtnisgenauigkeit (Aleksic et al 2025). 265 Teilnehmer unterzogen sich dem Trierer Sozialen Stresstest und erhielten am folgenden Tag eine der drei Interventionen oder keine Intervention (NIC). Entgegen den Erwartungen zeigten die Interventionen keine Unterschiede in ihrer Wirkung auf die Gedächtnisgenauigkeit, Weder das Reprozessieren der #EMDR Therapie, noch die anderen Interventionen führten zu einer Verbesserung oder zu einer Beeinträchtigung des Gedächtnisses im Vergleich zu NIC.
Die Ergebnisse widerlegen die Annahme, dass traumafokussierte Behandlungen wie EMDR, ImR und IE zu Gedächtnisveränderungen führen, was besonders für juristische Zusammenhänge bedeutsam ist."

EMDR for Dummies by Megan Salar, 2024
The Breakthrough Therapy for Overcoming Anxiety, Stress, and Trauma EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is now recognized as one of the most effective treatment modalities for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, and beyond.
Locked Up Living David Busch; Se-rem: An affordable Self-Help Program for Overcoming Trauma and Finding Inner Peace: Summary
David Busch, a retired psychotherapist, has developed a self-help program called Se-rem that combines elements of six different therapies, including EMDR, self-hypnosis, meditation, music therapy, Gestalt therapy, and Awe therapy.

"One morning in January 2023, 'Clerks' director Kevin Smith awoke in terror, convinced he was losing his mind. The next day, he checked into Arizona's Sierra Tucson Treatment Center, where he spent a month in intensive therapy and learned how childhood sexual abuse and bodyshaming over his weight by his 4th grade teacher led him to create and hide behind a larger-than-life public persona he calls "the other guy."
Now Kevin has stopped smoking weed, cut back on social media, is slowing down his work schedule after churning out movies, comic books, TV shows and podcasts, and learning about the healing power of self-acceptance. Most importantly, he is determined to get the word out to others who could benefit from hearing his story and the tools he's acquired to help find peace.—People

"Here, we demonstrate that innate looming stimulus responses, an innate predator-evasion behaviour, can be robustly extinguished via repeated unreinforced presentation over several days."

They are part of my knowledge or my experiences but I mainly write fiction these days. Some autobiography in poetry.
I used to write non fiction. And the first book I self published after I retired was about my experience of long term therapy for cPTSD. But that is a horror story that I told my family not to read.
It helps explain the therapy process for those already living in their own horror story.
A newer kind of therapy, #EMDR – eye movement desensitization and reprocessing – has been shown to help with all kinds of traumas and even chronic pain.
More studies are needed, but results so far are encouraging.

Was ist dran an der Polyvagal-Kritik?
"[…] All diese Studien geben Hinweise, dass es tatsächlich hilfreich sein könnte, im therapeutischen Setting das parasympathische Nervensystem, bzw. den Vagusnerv zu stimulieren."

As a reminder, there are people in this world who don’t wake up in the middle of every night with traumatic memories.
But if you are somebody who does, there’s really good #trauma treatment these days. Techniques like #EMDR and learning about #EmotionalDysregulation are very effective.
My sage advice is to believe in yourself and your beliefs and always keep good people around you who treat you nicely. If you are in an unhappy place, remember to keep your chin up and keep trying.
"Die Tagung „Reden reicht nicht!?“ wurde 2014 gemeinsam von Michael Bohne, Gunther Schmidt, Bernhard Trenkle und Matthias Ohler ins Leben gerufen und findet 2025 zum fünften Mal statt. Ein Fokus der ersten Tagungen lag darauf, Hypnothesen zu Wirkmechanismen von bifokal-multisensorischen Techniken (#PEP, #EMDR, EMI, Brainspotting, IADC, etc.) darzustellen und zu reflektieren. Wir planen mit mindestens 80 Referentinnen und Referenten."

Ich wurde gerade mal wieder gefragt, was meine Empfehlung wäre, wenn jemand in Richtung Traumafolgestörungen denkt.
1. Viele Unikliniken bieten kurzfristig Beratung und Diagnostik. Mit der Diagnose wird es dann einfacher, Therapeuten zu finden.
2. Therapeuten suchen. Ich empfehle #EMDR. Suchfilter zB auf https://www.emdria.de und https://www.therapie.de .
3. Wenn man dazu nicht in der Lage ist: jemanden darum bitten, das für einen zu erledigen! Zu den Terminen hinbringen und abholen lassen.
diggin thru the crates of trauma's greatest hits via #EMDR has me feeling like a dish rag but thankfully not looking or smelling like one
Before the break, I had been recovering from burnout. I had been working too much for too long. I hit a wall. Working with a wonderful therapist I began finding myself again. Ironically, as I went for the ride when I broke my leg, I was feeling happy - I had taken the choice to get out on my bike - it was a sign I was healing, doing things I wanted to do. #burnout #therapy #mentalhealth #emdr
