EMDR for cPTSD - 30+ sessions recommended

[anonymous12345]

Hi All and I hope you're well! Just wondering before I commit to the supposed 30+ required amount of sessions, does anyone have positive experience after a lot of EMDR sessions for complex PTSD?
Thank you

For nearly a year, I committed to weekly EMDR sessions, and I found them to be incredibly helpful for my PTSD. Although the sessions required me to relive my trauma, it ultimately made me much less reactive to my triggers. I am so glad I dedicated my efforts to this process.

If you choose to go this route, please ensure your therapist establishes a 'safe place' before you begin. This gives you a mental refuge to return to after EMDR. In my own experience and observations, some therapists unfortunately fail to install this.
