@Blue_Bird:

I tried EMDR for trauma but i was in crisis so i didn't give it a fair shake. We just did one session for "installation of a positive memory" which the therapist can use to restore you if you get into trouble processing bad memories. It worked! I was so surprised! But in subsequent sessions i wasn't well enough to try more EMDR and then i abandoned it altogether. So, i had success when i was well enough to try it. Best of luck to you!
