Am I right in thinking you don't actually need to talk about the memory with the EMDR therapist.

My think is EMDR would be processing memories without having to disclose and then I could use usual therapy to ground myself.


I particularly find sharing difficult. I mean I have been with this current therapist for 3 years and have only hinted at CSA, never mentioned i used to self harm. The stuff I am really ashamed of I am nervous that maybe EMDR requires me to be too vulnerable and it won't work/will send too far into regression.
