I see a lot of people on here that have a regular T and an EMDR T. My regular T just started EMDR with me. Anyone else’s regular T do EMDR with them? Do you do EMDR every session or do they change things up?

I had 2 Ts when I started Emdr. Now I only have the one T. We do not do Emdr everytime in fact er have only done it once since July. My situation is unique though. I do not think we will always do Emdr though as sometimes other things come up.

My therapist took EMDR therapy recently. She tells me they can become certified with additional work. I have a friend who has combat ptsd. I wouldn’t recommend he do emdr with anyone who is not certified.

My regular T has done EMDR with me. At least I think that's what she is doing. She just calls it Eye Movement. I don't have a separate EMDR T. We don't do it every time either. Just sometimes. Kit

My regular T just got back from a very intense training on it and I don’t know if he is using it with other clients or not but I do know he started it with me the second session after the training. So, I am among the first if not the first of his clients he is using it with. But, he is certified. I worked with someone before who was not and it was totally different and ended poorly. Today was the second time we did EMDR but I asked if we could do some relaxation exercises next week and he was happy to do that. So, I guess we can break it up and do different things. Thanks for your replies.
