Has anyone here actually been through EMDR therapy? My therapist has been suggesting it to me for a while. I initially didn't want to do it because I'd have to see another therapist and I didn't want to do that. Now, my therapist is going through the training so I will be able to do it with him. I have a lot of fears around it through, emdr scares me the same way talking about it does. I don't want to go there, I don't want to face those things. I know though, that facing the hard things is necessary in accepting them, I'm just scared. The only reason I feel open to doing it is because I trust my t and he genuinely thinks it could help me with the areas I'm still struggling.

If you've done it, can you tell me about what it was like to focus in the stimulation and be present with an aweful memory at the same time? I feel like I wouldn't be able to help closing my eyes or covering my face while thinking about it...
And of course any general stuff on your experience.

Thanks
