Hi Summeryoga,
I had a psychiatrist that wanted to do EMDR with me and my t (who works with this pdoc) strongly disagreed. He told me that it would blow my mind right up. I am not trying to scare you. I guess I am just wondering if you and your t both know the extent of the trauma you are trying to process and if it is one item or many? Did she prepare you for any of the possible negative side effects? Have you went over and mastered some coping skills or distress tolerance? I thought it may be a quick fix for me and fast relief but my t held firm and I am glad he did. Please be careful. I am interested to know what you decide and if it works. Good luck! KC
