If you can focus on the past issues, it will probably be helpful. The incidents I bring up are vague in my mind, so I get frustrated when I can't remember enough. But my T says my brain is processing it anyway!
Good luck and keep us posted how it goes!

Thank you Rainbow
The thing I'm worried about with it is that I won't be able to make it intense...that I will have a hard time focusing on the emotions that the memories bring up.
I've heard somewhere that EMDR is for those who aren't able to remember their memories because of the pain associated with them. I can remember mine perfectly well, they just bring about a dark, sad feeling with them. Is what I heard true?
