Reply to "Night Terrors"

Judith, I don't know if the new O'Shay/Paulsen Protocols for EMDR might be an option for you, but if you've already done EMDR, and the therapist wasn't already aware of the EMDR: O'Shay/Paulsen protocols, perhaps they might be now, or at least willing to refer you. When I first did EMDR, my therapist was trained at "Facilitator Level" [the most comprehensive EMDR training level, at that time (1994-95)], but I don't believe the O'Shay/Paulsen Protocols became available until [about] 2014 or 2015, and those might address the night traumas, especially if something tragic/traumatic occurred between conception and ages 3-7 (when we begin to verbally encode our memories). EMDR was quite effective in stopping the flashbacks I put up with for 28 years  (from an incident in my later teen years). Perhaps the Expressive/Theraputic Writing that Janie suggested might be of help, and/or the medications which Ramona noted, or the Thought Field Therapy which Nora noted. I hope you find something that works for you.
