I started doing EMDR this past July and go every other week. It has been A LOT of work and hard. My long term therapist does not do EMDR and had pretty limited knowledge but she is learning about it for me so that she can better support me through the process with a seperate therapist. It has been a huge struggle for me as I automatically disassociate when painful memories arise. So we have had to back up and work on allowing and recognizing negative emotions. EMDR T is so patient and understanding. There have been many days where I want to quit but I want to heal more so I keep plugging away.
