I have tried it with a couple of different t's...several ways...and I hated it. I call it one of the woo woo treatments. In studies, EMDR worked better than AL, No treatment, Non specific treatment...but exposure therapy, CBT and DBT all worked significantly better. The critics think it's the "exposure" part of the EMDR that works. (Exposure therapy has been studied significantly for a very long time, EMDR is kind of newish (1987).

(hoping you wanted both view points, if you only wanted positive I am really sorry)
