This is Julia. How is everyone? I was wondering if anyone could help me with something? I have been having horrible nightmares of TLC. They all have Ms. Willa or Drill sgt. Caro in them. I wake up and i am scared shitless. Then i realize i am fine and it all goes away until ihave another one. How do i get that crazy bitch out of my dreams or should i say night mares or the other fool? This shit is weird.
For anyone who is new to this site take your kids out if you haven't already and don't be fooled by The Bundy clan. I am not even joking a little bit. From my own estimate there is probably a 95% chance your kid is being treated like shit or is witnessing it. Do you really want your kids to go thru or witnes this kind of stuff. I know what it's like and it's not fun not even a little bit. when i left there i was mean in a way i didn't feel bad for anyone or anything i had no feeling exept hunger. I even laughed at my mom when she fell and twisted her foot. I made myself sick because i didn't know what the heck was wrong with me. I don't usually act like that.-julia-
P.s Ms. kristy if you read this I want you to know i don't roll my eyes at people and i want my white GAP coat back! ASAP. I suspect you are wearing it right now as you read this! So please take it off and put it in the mail. -julia aka eye roller- NOT!!!!!!!!!

Julia,
For years I had a recurring dream which stemmed from a frightening event in childhood. May sound weird, but the way I got over it was a little talk therapy and 'takin control of my dreams'. It can be done. When I'd get into a scarey situation, I'd just remember (while asleep) that it was a dream, that I was in control and could end it at anytime. Most times I would wake myself up. After a while, I just remembered and ended the dream. It was really cool!!
Short of that. I've heard that EMDR is a successful therapy for 'PTSD'. There's lots about it on the web.
My opinion of 'what was wrong with you' was that you still resented your mom (and the program) for the way you'd been treated (disrespectfully), and found some pleasure in her getting hurt. You obviously couldn't hurt her yourself. That resentment can often get misplaced onto anyone who acts the least disrespectful to you. It's one reaction to having been abused and forced to be quiet about it- or it was for my son.
Anyway, try the dream thing and see how it works. Let us know how it's going. Time and distance are also good for recovery.

From the EMDR Institute:

PTSD Research:
http://www.emdr.com/sumofptsd.htm
Three studies1,2,3 have indicated an elimination of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) diagnosis in 77-90% of civilian participants after three to seven sessions. Other studies using participants with PTSD4,5,6 have found significant decreases in a wide range of symptoms after two or three active treatment sessions. Treatment effects are well maintained at follow-up assessments. For example, one study reported an 84% remission of PTSD diagnosis at 15 month follow-up7.
Studies using waitlist controls found EMDR superior; studies comparing EMDR to commonly used treatments such as biofeedback assisted relaxation8, active listening5, and various forms of individual therapy in a Kaiser Permanente HMO facility2 found EMDR superior to the control condition on measures of posttraumatic stress.
Five randomized clinical trials have compared EMDR to exposure therapies4,9,15 and to cognitive therapies plus exposure1,10. These studies have found substantially no difference between EMDR and the cognitive/behavioral (CBT) control, with a superiority in two studies for EMDR on measures of PTSD intrusive symptoms and in one for CBT (using imaginal and therapist-assisted in vivo exposure) on intrusion and avoidance. There were two controlled studies without randomization; one11 found the CBT condition superior to EMDR and the other12 found EMDR superior to the CBT control on multiple measures. EMDR is more efficient than CBT, as it does not require homework and some studies have indicated that it may also take fewer sessions. Treatment effects have generally been well maintained. [For more information, see Comparison of EMDR and Cognitive Behavioral Therapies].
Several controlled field studies have tested EMDR in community settings such as low cost agencies5, an HMO facility2 and a university based clinic serving the outside community4. Such studies, which reported good results, have excellent external validity. In the only controlled study that has treated disaster-related PTSD13 , school children?s PTSD symptoms were markedly reduced after EMDR treatment, with an improvement in overall health measured by fewer health visits to the school nurse. This was also the first controlled outcome study of any treatment for children with PTSD.
Studies with combat veterans were hampered by insufficient treatment time and fidelity to treatment. The only randomized study using the 12 session suggested minimum treatment14 indicated that 77% of the Vietnam veterans no longer had PTSD after the 12 sessions8. A post hoc analysis of a PTSD program in the VA found a superiority of EMDR over the two other treatments used.16
EMDR has been recognized as an efficacious treatment for PTSD [See Efficacy of EMDR].
