Thank y’all for being patient with me for these updates! There will be another update next week ❤️
@ENSORVLOGS we're you dealing w/ anxiety every day? I did DBT and CBT and Hypnotherapy. The DBT helped a bit, CBT no and Hypno hell no but I start EMDR Monday and am really hopeful. I'll keep you updated!! Thanks for answering back to me.
You are amazing for updating your progress. I did 6 months of this for CPTSD.
Everyone on here thinking of EMDR. IT’S SO WORTH IT!
I’ve watched your updates and you used the same words I did: brutal, hard work but an amazing process. You are a warrior woman.
Anyone who does is. Definitely allow your brain to do it and don’t force anything. It’ll still work. You don’t need to do anything. The start of new incidents always feel awful it’s peaks and troughs as you enter them. Don’t forget it gets better.
My brain would always feel healthier leaving. I’m so glad you are feeling that too!
Keep going!!!!! You are amazing and are seriously wonderful for sharing how the desensitisation works and yourself as you do.
HUGE RESPECT and much love ❤️❤️❤️
Anyone considering seriously do it: You deserve to have your trauma embedded away.
kat hale thank you so much for this😭
Ensor Vlogs No I didn’t want you to cry!! Just breathe in all the extra love. ❤️❤️❤️
Because of your videos, I’m starting in a few weeks, so thank you! You are a ⭐️
I definitely want people to understand to never underestimate trauma. It can happen from even the smallest and silliest things and ruin your whole life when you didnt process it correctly. It doesnt matter male or female, or how much of a tough guy you are. When your mind is off it affects everything.
Like for me, Im a truck driver with experience and have always been a pretty confident driver. One day i choked on my saliva when trying to swallow while driving and typically i would move on and not think much of it as most would, but this time I for some reason processed it as practically a life/death situation. For the last 7 months I went from being a professional driver to a scared little baby constantly in a fearful, on edge, overly defensive state od mind and trying to avoid or ignore it only makes it worse. Never thought some so random and small could throw a wrench in my whole life....but it did! (Of course that amplified all the other emotions going on in my life). I never was one yo seek theraoy, but rock bottom emotionally did it for me! Trying out emdr myself. Definitely a bit scary but i really hope it works because time has sped up extremely fast and i want nothing more than to get back to normal (or better!).
Again....dont underestimate trauma and know that you're not alone out there. Though i feel alone lol. Taking care of mental health is extremely important. Youd be surprised how things even from childhood that you dont remember could be influcencing your state of mind and having an incident that triggers the trauma response can catch you off guard and throw things way off!
Bree, thank you for sharing your therapeutic journey. It takes courage to face our traumatic experiences and memories and take that step toward healing (let alone share your story with the CZcams-verse!!). By no means is it easy, but we must go through the pain to heal from it. But it's so worth it! Having benefitted from EMDR myself about 10 years ago, I was looking for videos to share with a friend who has a family member suffering from PTSD. I'm a huge proponent of therapy, but after years of traditional "talk therapy", EMDR was a game-changer for me. This is the first of your videos that I've watched and I look forward to watching more of your story. Hugs from Scottsdale ❤
Thank you for posting this, I saw your videos a long time ago and I finally started EMDR yesterday. It’s going really well and I just wanted to say thank you as your videos really helped me decide to try it.
You’re amazing! Way to go. SUch a tremendous advocate for mental health services. The world is benefiting from your vulnerability.
This is such important content to put out here. Thank you.
Yes please keep uploading the videos, I want to know what’s ahead of me from someone who is currently having this therapy.
Omg I wish I could watch to the end of this!!! Please upload more 😍🤗
You are so brave! Thank you for sharing this experience
Thank you so much for documenting this process ❤
You are an inspiration in your sharing ypur personal experience with edmr therapy. Thank you ao much for sharing it's encouraged me to start a vlog to discuss,watch and possibly share on the CZcams's here to inspire others. Thank you for your inspiration along with sharing your personal struggles within the therapy. Agape and much peace
I start EDMR sessions. Thank you for sharing your experience. ❤️ keep us updated
Thank you for making these videos. I will start EMDR for complex PTSD after more sessions with my therapist. I feel better about starting EMDR
Hey ! Can you please share some details about your experience ? How many sessions you had ? Was it obligatory for you to feel again exactly the same emotions during the sessions or just thinking about it was enough ? How were you feeling in between the sessions ? Any detail that Comes to your mind will surely help . Thank your 🙏
@@Iamisopik I ended up not havng EMDR. My sessions with my therapist did the job for e. I et with her once a week for 18 months
I have met with a therapist and going to begin EMDR therapy and was looking for some insight to get the best results from this so thank you for sharing your experience. I really relate to your feelings from childhood experience and hope this helps the anxiety and triggers that have kept me from having the relationships and success I want to have. Stay well and hi five to you for making this investment in yourself and remember that your energy has more value than money, spend it on people who want you to thrive, because the takers that don't give back want to see you fall.
@Dayna Anderson how did it go?
Will have my 3rd session EMDR tomorrow and I am glad I came across this video. Was wondering what will be the long term outcome, tq for sharing. Will join you FB group
Perfectly understand what you are saying. Thanks
Thank you for sharing ur experience with us, your whole journey, this is a hard place to be. Im dissociated 24/7 and im strut my emdr soon, have u found any medication or anything by that helps u come to grounded?
Your a Rockstar.
I’m watching this video 4 years after this video was posted but I’m seeing its value today. Is the Facebook group still up and going strong? If so, I’d love in for a great support system in my own EMDR journey.
Thank you so much for your videos. I also suffer from CPTSD and your videos have helped me tons. Im currently receiving DBT therapy. Have you experienced that therapy at all?
Lisa Marie I am not familiar with DBT but would love to learn more! Have you had success with it? Have you tried EMDR? I hope you’re having a great day! Thanks for commenting❤️
Would be glad to be part of the group
I'm totally interested in the group 🙏
Can you talk about what impact it had on your daily life or what changes you saw in yourself?
Thank you :)
Hi! I just started emdr a few weeks ago for ptsd and stumbled upon your videos when I googled the side effects of it. Thanks for posting these! Could you send me the info for that private fb page for cptsd please? Thanks!
Thank you for sharing… I have been thinking of starting EMDR. I want to be apart of the Facebook group!!
I start EMDR today for CPTSD, panic disorder and severe anxiety. I am terrified. I live in CO so it’s 7:15am and I haven’t slept yet.
Hi! How are you now? How did the EMDR help? I struggled with the same as well!
Before you started EMDR did you have a negative attitude about yourself and or life in general. I have past trauma as well and future fears and was suppose to start EMDR in 2 days but she said that I had to be stable first because I am going through depression and generalized anxiety disorder from childhood trauma. I was hoping that it would work for me but not sure if she is going to do it. I have watched some of your videos and just curious if you were depressed as well as anxiety. Don't want to pry. I am 53 and hoping for the best. When you say it's hard, is it hard reliving the trauma memories or just draining hard. Also, how often did you go? Once a week or more? Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
I would love to join that group!
emdr has been difficult recently. started it 4 months ago. it is hard because now when im around my family im hyper aware of the trauma they caused instead of repressing/distracting it which makes me have strong fear responses around them.
because of this right now im not speaking with my parents because it is too painful for me
I had this same response. It was this that had me disconnect from my Mother for about 4 years till I worked through my difficulties enough to have greater control over myself. I was able to reconnect with my mother once I’d gotten through the difficult parts of my therapy and had a better understanding of myself, and how to help myself I needed it. That may or may not be what is best in your case.
For me, I understood that my Mother lacks the emotional intelligence and the safety to go on a self-help journey for herself. I knew I had to meet her where she was, in a sense, in order to keep her in my life. I think she’s worth it as long as I limit my expectations of/ for her. I don’t give her a pass on what I was dealt in my life no thanks to her, but I also don’t hold it against her.
You are allowed to hold yourself in the highest esteem in your healing journey. You are more than worth it, and the work you are putting into that will definitely pay off. If you need to step away to do that, don’t hesitate. Give yourself that grace.
I heard emdr was one big emotional/ draining process and you see major results afterwards is that not true? Thank you for the videos xo
Please give us an update friend
🙏🏾💙👑
I’m starting this treatment for my anxiety. I feel like it doesn’t work but seeing your journey gives me hope. What are the FB groups that helped you?
Hello , how are you doing ? Did it work for you ?
@BreeWild did you notice any changes in your body at all or shifts in your beliefs about yourself or how you see life as well!? Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. I have been considering EMDR and it has been really neat and inspiring to see your videos! I am interested in the Facebook group you are a part of if you are able to help get me connected with it?
Camille Richards thanks for following along! I’m glad it’s giving you a little bit of insight❤️ I think EMDR has helped me a lot with my recovery! If you will add me on Facebook - Bree Ensor then I can send you an invite to the group😊
Hi. I am 22 years old and i found out i have cptsd. I'm trying to work my way thru it a little by myself already and i am going to start emdr in about a month. I have been searching and searching for the answer of what was going in and i finally found it a few months ago. I am willing to heal and go thru past experiences again. Could i please gain access to the fb group?
How are you feeling now? I'm about to start emdr...
Just wondering how it works longterm...
Hi, I am about to start EMDR. How are you doing these days? and did it help ?
I might be interested in joining the Facebook group if it’s still a thing. I have been diagnosed with PTSD but I think that it is technically C-PTSD from what I have read in the research and what it is from.
I'd love to join the facebook group!
has been 3 years, waiting for the next video
I would really like joining the Facebook group :)
I'm scared out of my mind, my first session is on Monday.😅

@mariah b Me too. I'm going to a psychiatrist and I haven't ever proofed to do EMDR therapy. I just do talk therapy and drugs therapy to keep it at bay.
What if SUDS is high only in life when triggered but not when in therapist office? T.Y.
I'm interested in joining fb group.

Has EMDR helped you? How many sessions have you had?
@@tylerpearson5454 it has helped me tremendously! I have been going about 6 months now. At first I was going consistently once a week (with exceptions if either of my boys were sick or I was) and so it has been a lot. But if you go consistently it tends to be more beneficial in my opinion! Are you thinking about giving it a shot?
YES! I start Monday. My anxiety has kicked in a year ago and the depression that came along with that. It has stayed with me consistently over that time frame. I am hopeful EMDR will work. I hear a lot of good things. There is a lot of ppl who have had good results. I don't have very serious trauma, at least some ppl wouldn't call it serious, it's just been anxiety and depression pretty much every day over the last year. I'm totally into doing the work. I start Monday I will keep you updated! Thanks @ensor_vlogs
Fb group please.
I would really like to be a part of the fb group
Thank you for sharing. Similar place. Can we connect on FB? Thank you.
Can I join the group?
I would love to join the Facebook group please 🙏🏾💙👑
I've been dealing w/ anxiety and depression for a while now. My stuff, I believe, started from some work related trauma. How many sessions did it take to see some growth? Did it take a while? I start EMDR next week.
tyler pearson I started seeking growth after the second session! I think it all depends on how open you are to the process and being ready to let your brain work hard
OK. I start Monday. Been at this for almost a year now after a move and would love for this to be gone. Ya know? I've tried all sorts of therapy now, hypno, cbt, dbt diff drugs etc. I hear good things about EMDR and am more than willing to give it a go. Thanks for the feedback.
I had my first session last night WOW! It's crazy how vivid my memory was. Anxiety still w/ me but I think we have a great starting place. I can't wait to go back and do more!I'll keep you updated on my progress.-tyler
Did my first session and wow did it blow my mind how clear all of the memories.
Hi tyler pearson. I have also began with EMDR. I have 2 sessions already. How have been your journey with this therapy. Have you taken your 2 session?
Hi I am receiving EMDR. I am not sure if it is working. Can you please the FB group name?
I am interested in the Facebook group you are a part of if you are able to help get me connected with it?

Toni Dunsmore that’s what CPTSD is. it may take you longer, but it should be just as effective.
