I will keep seeing my T once a week while doing EMDR maybe once a month.
I can't afford to go more often as it's quite expensive and I pay out of pocket for all my therapy.

I haven't yet begun but I'm a bit suspicious of EMDR to be honest and was wondering whether some people here could shed a light on the practice by recounting their experience: what did you do? for what? did it work? how often did you go? did you find it useful?

I've read the wikipedia page on EMDR and well, the results are not always there apparently according to Wiki but perhaps I'm wrong and should just embrace the whole thing and see how it goes.

Thanks in advance.

I tried it almost 19 years ago with a Jungian analyst that was trained by Shapiro, and could not tolerate it. My last therapist was trained in it, but did not feel it was appropriate for what I was dealing with. I had major attachment issues.

Good luck in whatever you decide.
Thanks for this!
