Re:EMDR and stalking victims?

Succinctly put - wish I could still do that. I agree on the two distinct parts. And I see now that the focus (often through necessity) has been on my immediate physical safety.

So, if I understand this correctly. EMDR will not interefere with my ability to objectively look at and evaluate whether or not the events occurring are a possible indication the stalker has returned. However, it will help me process the emotions involved with past events.

I think my fear is that it will help me create a "false sense of security." I did that once already, but I was lucky when someone I did not know provided me with a warning.

Would EMDR likely affect the anticipation I have of future stalking events? To me, this seems different than hyperarousal?

Would EMDR help with the depression related to having spent 6 years dealing with this and just being plain tired of it all? This of course, is combined with the fact, that I anticipate more problems. Or is that one of those things you just figure out how to accept?
