Oh! I did not realize EMDR went in sequential order like that. Interesting.

I think you can decide if you are up to whatever effects the EMDR is causing for you. If your resulting symptoms are too much, then do tell your therapist. See what s/he says and then make up your own mind about what you are or are not up to right now. Do take your own feelings seriously.

I have heard of both positive and negative experiences with EMDR.
I have never done EMDR. I have been advised against it due to the level of trauma. My doctors are afraid they might unearth info before I am ready for it.

There are different opinions from different people. A therapist who does EMDR is more likely to recommend it, I'd think?

It really does not matter what others have experienced with EMDR; what really matters is how YOU feel when going through treatment.

Please take care!!!
