when it was just becoming popular, i was seeing a therapist who suggested it. but she wasn't quite aware of how dissociated i was and as a result not educated properly on dissociation and EMDR. in addition, she was religious which i asked her to leave out of it. unfortunately, she did not respect that and during maybe the first and last time i did it, it caused a lot of triggering and dissociation because of how she referenced religious stuff as she was asking me to think of a memory. i have no memory of how many times i actually did it though i saw her 10 times.

for that reason, i would be reluctant to try it now with my psychiatrist even though she is way more educated on DID and EMDR...though i would have to guess since my reaction to the one time i tried hypnotherapy with her went out it did that EMDR probably would be about the same no matter what.

i think you have to be pretty stable and have proper support and go really slow with it just in case things go in a direction you don't quite expect.
