Hi Hellen,

I have been through EMDR and I think it was very helpful. I had a very long
session that brought out lots of stuff and still see a therapist who uses it
and we are going slow because of what the first session brought out. I am
going through the Social Security thing and do not have a lawyer. I am sure
that the info you have from comp opinions will help your case for social
security. I am not sure what a GAF score is and I have a second opinion for
social security tomorrow.
