I have not done it. But the No. 2 I saw in the fall did do it (and occasionally used some techniques from it in her traditional talk therapy, which seemed useful).

We discussed EMDR once when I needed a break from talking about other issues. It was her very firm opinion that there are a lot of therapists out there doing EMDR who have no idea what they're doing. What I remember specifically is that you want someone who is at least Level II in EMDR training (I don't know how many levels there are, but II indicates intensive training). And you want someone whose training has been as close as possible to the founder - Francine Shapiro - and the EMDR Institute she presides over. Ideally trained by Shapiro herself or by someone Shapiro herself trained. The reason she gave for this is that there's a lot of misunderstanding of EMDR, even among the therapists that practice it, and it is not a procedure without risk anyway - it is possible that the traumatic experience can get worse after an EMDR session.

On my own, by the way, I don't know that there is good science behind it. No one really knows why EMDR works, when it works.
