I have been seeing an EMDR T every other week for about 10 months. It is definitely different. Initially we both thought I would go to her for just EMDR because I have a long term talk therapist as well. It didn't work that way. On our second appointment we jumped into Emdr. We didn't that for a couple appointments and I told I was struggling be ause I needed to work on building trust before I could delve right in. She was very understanding. We started back with EMDR and then realizes a huge part of my problem is not feeling or tolerating emotions. So now we assre working on resource building. Definitely not how I thought EMDR would go it I am seeing slow progress. Fortunately, T is very understanding and patient.

I did have a consult with another Emdr T before this one. It felt horrible. Thought it might be because I was trying a new modality. Processed it with long term T she agreed it was awful and I should avoid seeing her again.
