i do EMDR once a week with a 2nd therapist. i was really skeptical of it first and the idea of it still kinda weirds me out. ive done it probably 7-9 times so far. i kept waiting for some huge memory or flashback to smack me in the face in the middle of it......but it hasnt happened. nothing like that has. maybe im not doing it right? ive read alot about it and people who say they felt instant relief or it helped right away. i dont notice anything like that.....it does get my brain thinking though thats for sure. it allows me to jump all over the place to wherever my brain leads me. the T does the tapper things and tells me to "let my brain go wherever it needs to go" and then when she stops the tappers i talk about whatever im thinking. so, with my racing all over the place brain it helps cause it doesnt have to be a fluid conversation. one thing i notice is i am EXTREMELY tired afterwards. i always crash hard for a few hours after. hope that gives you a little perspective on how its worked for me so far.
