Kimmydawn,

It might work for you. In the first few months of my therapy T tried EMDR once, but I was prone to retraumatization. The retrauma experience happened a couple of times in his office while we were talking, (not necessarly during the EMDR) and it was very painful and frightening, so he hasn't tried EMDR again, for fear of triggering a retraumatization again. He has explained that integration of traumatic experience should be accomplished without retraumatization. Maybe in the future, but not for now.

That's my experience.
