Regarding EMDR, it's quite powerful. Side effects vary from 'fatigue' to 'severe distress'. (Personally, I'm at the severe distress end, but it was worth it.)

There are several threads on EMDR in the Therapy sub forum. You want to be very comfortable with talking to your therapist, and confident in their ability to help you calm down before you do the 'EMDR' part of EMDR therapy.
