Yes , I had EMDR and did well with it. My T was a clinical psychologist with 10 years experience. We used the machine with the bilateral headphone tones and vibrating paddles , there are several methods. It works on " groups '' of feelings , so you might focus on one incident and the distraction / stimulation lets your mind free associate and bring up other memories and feelings. I was working on one thing and it went back to my first job. I never regretted it and would do it again.
