My first session, my body felt like it was experiencing a trauma when she waved her fingers. The second session, it had no effect on me. The 3rd and 4th we used the tappers(vibrators) not much progress in my opinion. I couldn't get entranced. I did not want to keep wait every 6 days and pay lots of money just to see what works and didn't work. So I did a lot of home experiments which I'm sure an emdr t would suggest against, but I was so sick of feeling depressed.
The first session I had with my t was amazing. My depression went from a 9 to a 1. And slowly it rose up to a 6 recently. My level of depression will never be a 9 again thanks to that first session. She said I was making progress 2,3 and 4 but I knew I wasn't really. Thankfully, I figured what triggers me into trauma mode on my own so I can bring those forethoughts with me to my next EMDR session.
