T and I tried EMDR two separate times on two different small "t" traumas without any success. Like you, I felt like I was really forcing it along until I got to the point of completely going blank and just not being able to stay with T anymore. It was kind of horrible. I now think that I was dissociating, but I didn't know that then.

T said it isn't for everyone, and that you really have to be completely open to it and able to sort of talk freely (not fearful, censoring yourself in any way). That was my problem. We were able to work through the traumas successfully, without any more EMDR. Good luck with it - and don't feel pressured to keep trying it if it's not working for you. It's your therapy, do what feels right (Just because it has worked for lots of people doesn't mean it will for you, and that's okay!)
