My T did EMDR with me for several months. I'm not sure if it worked or not. She always told me it would change my brain, whether I thought it would or not. I'm not sure if it did or not.

I thought EMDR was strange. I didn't like it so much; I was afraid of it, and also felt like my T was far away from me, though she was sitting closer because of the wires on the headphones. The traditional way of doing EMDR is for the T to move her fingers in front of your eyes, but I got dizzy and couldn't do that. So she used headphones and tappers, that buzzed in my hands. I kept my eyes closed during it.

Does your T have training to do EMDR? That's very important. They need to set up a "safe place" for you to go while doing it, as some people can get very triggered. I never did, though. I felt very tired after an EMDR session.

It may have helped me overcome my fear of lighting matches, though I can still only light the bigger size ones. I don't know if it helped for other trauma, but some people have excellent results from EMDR.

Good luck with it!
