Greetings!

I finally (after a year) got an appointment to start my EMDR treatment. I am excited, but....I have also heard that it's pretty intense. This normally wouldn't bother me, but how intense is intense? My trauma is pretty well baked in there and I am currently in a weird sort of state so I am not sure how to plan for it without giving myself other problems while getting rid of others...

So those who have had it, what are your experiences/is it reallllly something that will ask so much from me that I should probably try and plan rest periods before/after it (which some have said to me).

Thank you
