Self-emdr

I am dealing with complex emotions from emotional and psychological trauma. I am been using self-emdr and so far its been quiet helpful in processing emotions. i feel like i am finally progressing rapidly in my healing journey. I am wondering if others have tried this.

EMDR Self-Techniques

Is anyone doing any type of EMDR techniques on their own? If so, how is it going? My therapist and I are doing a temporary split since he's out of state and found out that since he isn't licensed here, he shouldn't be working with me in a therapist capacity. Next week, he's giving me one free...

After doing EMDR for a while with a therapist, she showed me how to do it at home myself, which is working fine too.
