Question:
Has anyone had success with EMDR therapy?
I've tried EMDR, but my counselor said she could tell that it was not working for me. I told her I don't succumb to hypnotism either, and she said there is a connection. I'd like to hear if EMDR has been effective for anyone, or not?
Answers:
EMDR works best for accute trauma.
I have read several books about it. It is fascinating.
I had some EMDR therapy and I am a good subject for hypnosis, and it did not have a great deal of effect on me. I feel it did benefit me some. However, my problems are very old and deep seated.
It is supposed to take longer for long term traumas.
I believe that if my therapist had used tapping instead the eyes and if I could have afforded to go to her for many sessions, I might have gotten some great results.
