Emdr is hard. Not gonna lie. I have done some
With my psyd and it is intense because you’re purposely focusing on the trauma. BUT your t will prepare you will skills to cope with any lingering effects from sessions. You will have a safe space to access when you feel overwhelmed. Mine is this huge rock in the woods that I can picture
Sitting on in the shade while looking at sun rays in the trees and feeling cool breeze tickling my cheeks. It sounds silly but it works!
And guess what? Emdr has helped. I have taken a break from it due to some unrelated instability but we will be going back to it soon.

Only you can make the decision to attempt
This therapy but what’s to lose?
