Personally I hate doing EMDR but my T is all about progress and improvement. He won't allow me to just talk each session. I guess it is a necessary evil and I hate to admit it but I do feel like I am finally starting to make progress on an abusive college relationship. I am not looking forward to moving on to childhood issues. We have tried sone of those in the past but I dissociated too bad.
DP - I have described my EMDR experience as it pertains to my trauma background. A trained EMDR T can also help you with phobias. It is definitely worth a try and it may not take too long. My background makes EMDR very slow and painful for me but many people find it very helpful almost immediately.
