Just wanted to add that I'm doing EMDR now, and at first it was really hard, but I really think I'm getting a lot out of it. It is absolutely exhausting (and dehydrating...), but I don't get stuck as much as I did since I started it, maybe a couple months ago now. You really have to be willing to stick with it in order to persevere.
Yeah, it hurts. It's stressful. After you leave, you still get waves of memories and emotions. But it's actually kind of cool; you are literally purging your brain of negative emotions associated with memories.
I call it mental chemo; it's not fun, but it cures mental cancer in the end :P. You just gotta stick with it to get results if you and your T eventually decide to do it. Good luck with everything regardless. Feel free yo PM me if you have more questions about it. It can be kind of funny at times because of the bizarre things that you think of (ex. the Ceshire cat from Alice in Wonderland...)
