At my last appointment, my therapist suggested using EMDR to help me with my anxiety. She said I was going to hear beeps in my ears, feel pulsations in my hands, and see visuals or something. The last part seemed really anxiety inducing to me so I refused to do it...but what exactly did she mean by this? I have never heard of EMDR before, and I'm not fully understanding it from what I've read online either. I'd be willing to try it if it's not as scary as what I'm thinking..
