Thank you! It makes a bit more sense now. There was just so much info to take in at once that I didn't quite catch the main point haha. I guess what makes me nervous is the fact that I almost instantly enter the REM phase of sleep, upon falling asleep. I have incredibly vivid dreams that I almost always remember. My old psychiatrist told me I never seem to enter the deeper levels of sleep that precede REM sleep. This knowledge makes me fear I'll experience something scary during EMDR :/ I don't know though. I'll let her know about that and see what she says.
