Re:emdr and meditation

As is no doubt clear from my previous posts I have a very much diagnosed dissociative disorder. :)

However, and this is vital, I don't think the havoc I spoke of is due to emdr, per se.

After years of being unable to meditate I found, six months ago, that Grand's tapes allowed me to begin to do so. They also helped me concentrate on internal dialogue and various other semi meditative experiences.

The "havoc" I am experiencing is more along the lines of a "spiritual emergency", at least as far as I have been able to observe and articulate it. I suppose the next ideas that occur to me are:

In what ways do dissociative disorders mirror splits in psychological/emotional/spiritual being? How does integraton or healing, then, mirror spiritual enlightenment or awakening?

And how does emdr, which I have found to be such a profound tool, contribute to this healing and awakening?
