Hi Myrto , I've had EMDR in conjunction with talk therapy for trauma as well and found it very effective. I was open minded about it , I knew it was a recommended treatment for trauma. My T was a consultant EMDR specialist with 10 years experience. He told me he was sceptical when he started ( what's that going to do?! ) , but all that time applying and refining the techniques. Feel free to PM me about this , as several members have.
