Hi all,
I'm looking for some advice...kind of reaching the end of my rope with this. So my main problem is the intrusive thoughts...but mine are very specific and relate to a horror movie I was shown repeatedly when I was pretty young...so scenes from the movie, mostly the soundtrack...all jump in either at random or when I see/do/hear something vaguely related...this is followed by a spike of anxiety and general feeling low for a while. it's like I'm being constantly hammered down by these thoughts :-(
the really annoying thing is I had EMDR a few years ago and it seemed to work - the anxiety lifted, thoughts stopped and I had a fantastic few years. then of all the rotten luck one of the songs from the soundtrack came on the radio randomly and the old problems started again.
So it's time to get this sorted for good, but what kind of therapy do you guys reckon would be best to tackle this? EMDR again? CBT? At this point I'm probably even willing to try some exposure therapy :-( Would it be classed as OCD or a phobia?
Also would be good to hear form anyone else who's had anything similar, so far it looks like I'm the only one!
sorry for all the questions...first post nerves!
