EMDR was offered to me in 1999 after a combined concussion and PTSD due to claustrophobia event. I declined it.

Personally, I have yet to consider any of the non-volitional therapies. Most are approved by claiming exempt status from FDA regulators. The objective of changing the brain by outside audio and visual stimulation is still controversial.

When I looked into EMDR, I did not find anything that gave me confidence.


Before I would try non-volitional therapy, I would exhaust all other therapies such as CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Exposure therapy.

Concussion Anxiety Syndrome, as I have called it, appears to manifest in people who have a pre-existing anxiety and OCD struggle. The research suggest this in an abstract way.

For me, I received the most benefit by increasing my serotonin levels with 5-HTP.
