She indicated that I wasn't being totally ridiculous.

Sorry Sky I tend to leave ending off my words sometimes.
My T really handled me well yesterday. She really seemed like she understood what I was saying. She also seemed slightly excited that I express this issue. She even said at one point, “You came to the right person.” Which may seem kind of egotistical on her part, but the way she said it wasn’t; it made me feel better. I actually told her about my personal space issues, which I think she has been aware of since the very beginning. It sounds really stupid but one of the things I had pickup on during the 1st few month of therapy was that she always seemed to respect my space and never approached me while I was sitting in her office. When she talked about the EMDR she said that she was well trained in it and gave me a basic explanation of the theory. I don’t know if she is certified, I didn’t know much about this technique until she mentioned it and I look it up on the Internet last night.

The exercise she did with me during the session was kind of an introduction. She said she would usually move closer to me and guide my eye movement with her finger or a pen, but that she would just explain it to me. She didn’t want me to get upset by having someone waving a finger near my face. I appreciated that. She asked me to think of a specific situation in which I get very anxious. Which I did, then had me move though a pattern with my eyes. The only thing that I wasn’t sure about was when she asked me to think of a situation. She seemed to be waiting for me to tell her what I was visualizing. I just said, “OK I have one.” I wasn’t sure if I had to say it and just couldn’t bring myself to say it unnecessarily. I can barely bring myself to write it in my journal at this point. So vocalize it—I don’t think so. She didn’t specifically push and ask me what it was and accepted this and guided me though the exercise.

Does this sound like she is trained? The memory really haunted me last night, but I am OK.
