Have you ever heard of EMDR? We have had client's who have memories of events in their lives and the EMDR helps to relocate those memories into a different part of your brain so they are not as debilitating. The client's seem to think it works rather well. They have tried PTSD therapy and when that didn't give them the results they needed,the EMDR did. Just a thought.

I have done EMDR. This is what I discovered. For me -> If there was single event, then it worked marvelously. (Like being pummled) If the memories had become a glob... it did not. (Memories of years of being treated like less than dirt which have become globbed in with other simaliar events)
