Just make sure your therapist is certified and qualified to practice EMDR. And make sure she's very experienced in it.
I had EMDR before and it was disastrous, contrary to almost all the other experiences I've read online. Everybody says it's extremely helpful. I have a feeling it was disastrous for me because my therapist didn't have much experience practicing it. She was certified by the Italian board of EMDR therapists, but was no good.
I'm going to try it again with another therapist in the next few months and, although I'm scared, I'm also hopeful, since this therapist has already proved to be very good, and she also teaches EMDR workshops, so she must be experienced.
