A couple of weeks at T asked if she could call EMDR T and discuss my care. She wanted a better understanding of EMDR do thay she can better help me. She has no intentions of learning EMDR other than how she can help me. I agreed and talked to EMDR T about them talking and she thought it would really help her understand me more. At my appointment with T she told me they talked and both agreed on my issues and how to go about them. I am glad they talked. BUT one of the things T mentioned telling Emdr T wad that I am struggling with EMDR and feeling like I am not progressing and failing. Which is 100% true. EMDR T said that it is far from true. She said she would bring up at this week's appointment. I am not sure why but I am really nervous about the conversation

Good therapists are receptive to feedback, so I bet EMDR T is glad to know that you feel like you aren't progressing. She might be able to reassure you, point out your progress, alter her approach, etc. It's useful feedback.

I can see where you might feel nervous if it feels like your T told EMDR T that you said something critical about her, but you really didn't. The two of them sharing information should help you move forward.

My regular T and EMDR T don't talk to each other but I wouldn't mind if they did ( I do very well between them ) Agree with Manatee it's feedback , it's not critical of EMDR T , it's how you are feeling , it's understandable to feel nervous though your EMDR T seems very sound to me. Regular T might get a better understanding of the best way to support you with EMDR too. Let us know how you get on ?

The 1st thing EMDR T brought up was that she spoke to T1. She told me very little about the conversation which is okay as T1 told me all about it. She mention they had discussed my numbing of emotions and how that has been an effective coping skill, until now. Then she brought up that I feel like I am failing and not making progress. She wanted to let me know that I am making process and am in no way failing. We are just figuring out how to best help me. She apologized a few times. What was interesting was that a couple of times during the appointment she apologized for for asking questions. She said she wonders if her asking questions is also holding me back as I am not doing EMDR She seemed to be doubting herself which was NOT my intention or belief. Honestly that is why I didn't say anything to her.

She sounds great. I don't think you should worry at all. They are emotionally detached. If they weren't, important decisions would become clouded by their own feelings. It seems like the right thing to do, backtracking a little and opening things up.

She is great. I am sure it will be okay but I hate that she was second guessing herself.
