Hmm, I do think it could be useful for some immediate trigger issues that I need to find a way around. There is a bit of an unusual situation as the issues I am currently dealing with are very time sensitive, but the EMDR therapist can't see me until late November. Your explanation of the process helps me to understand why the current new t was quite insistent that I keep seeing her in the meantime to do the 'planning phase' as she put it. I guess this handing over thing is less than ideal, but necessary in the circumstances.
Thanks for your info, the more I think about it the more I think EMDR might be useful for the specific thing that I most need to get under control.
