I Am Epileptic As A Result Of Head Trauma. In

I am epileptic as a result of head trauma. In April 1985, I was a passenger in a car accident and had seizures and was comatose for three days. I haven't had a grand mal seizure since October 1986 (I was not on medication at that point), but have periodic partial complex seizures. I take both lamictal and vimpat. I was a candidate for surgery, but two, week-long, inpatient, sleep studies brought no seizures. I would like to undergo EMDR to help with trauma from the car accident and ongoing trauma from several years of health issues for my son. His health is fine now, but my anxiety is persistent. The last thing I'd want to do is have EMDR bring on a grand mal seizure. Thoughts?
