Hi Esther,
Maybe this EMDR specialist is someone with a positive outlook who wants to believe that he can "help" everyone and doesn't give up on anyone. Also, I wonder about his definition of "help" vs. "cure."
My T used EMDR a couple of times with me but the second time it left me tooo spacey and dissociated, in a way. So, he thinks that "talk" therapy is just right for me right now. But, I know that EMDR has helped Sunrise because she has posted about it. Maybe you can ask her, because it may very well help you too!!!
As far as I know there is no "one size fits all."
Peace
