Re:non-traumatic splits and EMDR

Dear Imperfect,

Thanks for the effort here.

I am really interested in how EMDR can be used to degrade and integrate these polarities and bring all this information together for processing - or if it can be done at all with very early pre-verbal core splits - formed too early for the type of conditioning you describe to have been causative.

I am very interested in seeing if the work being done now with core dissociative splitting in the love/rage/value/valueless dichotomy is effective, since these are very early splits, and since this area of work with EMDR is relatively new.

Since the integration of all my parts, this is still there, and now it is very evident to me, like was not before. But it is not the same as the traumatic splitting at all, but seems more instinctual and basic. And this is where I am going to try to work with my therapist over the next year, to see if we can use EMDR to help heal these early core splits.

And perhaps Dr. Inobe can shed some light on this process, or give some research links if there are any.

Diane
