Hey,
So new T suggested EMDR which I'm meant to start on Monday (or start the start of EMDR like practice tapping (cos video) and safety stuff), and I'm up for it, and that's not really my issue. I'm mostly like "huh" about what the big deal is. She says it can sometimes bypass avoidance stuff, which awesome, let's do it. People here have said it's awful and shouldn't be done alone, which has obviously made me attempt it alone and I found it.. boring. So I guess my question isn't so much "what was your experience?" cos I have heard loads of experiences that haven't been *my* experience, cos majority of experiences I've heard have been like "omg if you do it alone it can go so wrong and the world will explode and you'll die".
I guess my question is more, what makes EMDR so difficult for some people? Or make them think it can't be done alone? Or yeah, basically, what's the big deal?
And whatever answers won't really change the part where I'm willing to do it, cos like yeah, options are low, and nobody has successfully bypassed my avoidance yet, including myself so nowt much to lose. Just curiosity.
