So I started seeing an EMDR therapist the beginning of May. Before I saw her, I checked to see if she was listed on the EMDR website, which she was aND it was verified that she had completed both training parts of EMDR. I definitely like her, as she is very quick to alter what isn't working...

So, I've met with my EMDR therapist twice now. The first session was mostly an intake, which is what I expected. We agreed that we would try to lower my anxiety level before starting the actual EMDR process. I also have a CBT therapist, who has spoken with the EMDR therapist, and both of...

So far I've had 1 session with an EMDR therapist. In addition to PTSD, I also have GAD. My anxiety was very high during that first session; I just couldn't get comfortable. But I don't think it was due to anything the therapist said or did. It was just because my anxiety was through the...

I know I've posted a lot about this lately, and I apologize, but I'm still very uncertain. Today I had an EMDR consultation. The therapist seemed nice. She patiently answered all my questions. However, one of her answers has me quite concerned and I'm wondering if this is standard for EMDR...

So, I've posted that my current therapist suggested that I do EMDR therapy and recommended someone who is trained in it because she is not. However, she suggested that I continue therapy with her while doing EMDR. I reluctantly agreed. I say reluctantly because I have trust and abandonment...

I apologize in advance if this has been asked before, but I'm trying to learn as much about EMDR before I decide whether or not I will try it. I understand that EMDR is NOT talk therapy. However, in the reprocessing part, what happens (in terms of the therapist's response) when/if that...

Mostly I am currently in flight mode as opposed to fight mode. Last week I had an anxiety attack in my therapist's office. The subject of my mom came up, and my mom, who is deceased, is the source of my trauma. My T and I had previously talked about "sitting with" (or fighting through) the...

I'm new to the forums. Thank you to those of you who have responded to my introductory post. I have many questions, so I hope you will bear with me. I'm currently seeing a therapist who is not trained in EMDR therapy. I was diagnosed with PTSD several years ago due to childhood abuse and...

Hello. I'm new here but not new to forums. I am currently seeing a therapist for anxiety issues. I've been seeing her for almost two years, and she truly is wonderful! She has taught me a lot of coping tools, and is extremely supportive. Recently she suggested that I could benefit from...
