I am pretty new to EMDR, so I can't fully say how the end results of it are, but I can say that the memories that I have worked on 'have less teeth' or less grip on me. They are still awful memories, and they really suck, but they don't have the same power that they did before I processed them.
I think the hardest part of EMDR for me was adjusting to how strange it is, and to strike a rhythm with the therapist (since I have only worked with her for EMDR, she was trying to get more info/backstory than I was comfortable sharing yet.)
