Hi there, I tried EMDR to help me deal with my childhood abuse. It did not work for me, it made things worse. I hated it. But I don't think it was done properly. That was a former therapist, my current one has a totally different idea of what EMDR is and how to do it. I'm still reluctant to try again.
If you decide to give it a try, make sure you go with someone who knows what they're doing.
Good luck!
