Has anyone been treated this way, if so did it help or not. What are your thoughts about EMDR vs. other methods of treatment?  |
GenCat, my concern for you regarding EMDR is what you stated in your other thread that you sometimes make up bad things that have happened to you. Insofar as EMDR is used primarily to treat trauma, do you think this therapist is planning on using it for what you told her but wasn't true? Because if so, I think it would be important to talk to her about that issue before starting this treatment. If it has nothing to do with it, of course please ignore this.
