Has anyone else's MC recommended this? My MC is doing this with me and it's kind of weird, I was just curious if anyone else has had experience with this and if it actually works?

This therapy is BIG STUFF...
and
it shoulld be done by a highly skilled professional with LOTS of hands-on experience.

It works well for the right patient ... in the right hands.

There are risks as well .... if there is a Pandora's box of deeply hidden psychic hurts... out they come.

Take care...

Have you ever heard of them doing this to help "get over" the affair? I'm just uneasy about the whole thing! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

My wife and I both went to the same therapist who used that technique.

It worked very well for my wife, who had a lot of childhood issues that came out and were finally dealt with. It helped her understand what led to her making bad choices, particularly about her A. It can be very emotionally draining, though. The idea is to "flush out" these issues, deal with them as they relate to behaviors, then discard them, so to speak. She was very happy with the results.

It didn't do much for me - no painful buried emotions or issues to bring out. It didn't help much in dealing with the aftermath of my wife's indiscretions, either. Just talking to the therapist did more in that regard.

Hope this helps.

I guess we'll see. My MC just started this with me in my one on one sessions a couple visits ago. Emotionally draining yes I will agree with you on this. The "places" I try not to go, this is really making me "got there"....not liking it to much at all!!!

Thanks for the info.
