I adore my T and trust him more than anyone in my life EVER. We started EMDR and I was struggling with it but it just wasn’t working, I wasn’t bothered or traumatized by it. Two weeks ago he let me know that we had stopped because he felt I did not trust him enough for the EMDR to be safe and therapeutic. I was floored, I never expected T to say he didn’t feel I trusted him enough. So we did more history taking which proved helpful but still didn’t get to the trust he is trying to achieve. My hyper vigilance is just too high... so next session he wants to play some games, card games and just chat (I suck at chat)... “just” relax and be comfortable together. We shall see how it goes. But it seems that EMDR takes much more of a therapeutic connection than a lot of people expect it to.
