Reply to "EMDR?"

Hey Jo,

I've never done EMDR, but my T wants to do it with me. So far, I've said No, because it has these series of steps and I get all weird when I have to do something a certain way. I get all rebellious and don't want to do it. Plus, I think that I would just laugh when she's doing the little tick tick thing, or whatever (I don't know if you've read enough about it to know what I'm talking about.). Plus, therapy is working for me as it is. She says EMDR would speed up the process. I'm not sure if I want that to happen, cuz that would mean that I'm closer to termination Frowner

I have a friend who has the same therapist and is doing EMDR work with her. She loves EMDR so much that she wants to marry it or at least be its BFF. She says that it's such a peaceful euphoric feeling each time that she does the work. She says it's not weird, and not intimidating, and she hardly even laughed the first time she did it, which is amazing, cuz she's like me and laughs at everything.

So, do some research, and then go for it! It just might help you make it over that hump.

Let us know if you do it. I'm particularly interested in talking to people who have done it, so if you do, I'd love to chat with you about it.
