Thanks DInah,
I thought, here I go again... and thought I needed another kick in the pants...
I am sorry you seem upset about this whole thing. EMDR can just not work for you and that doesn't mean anything negative about you. But I would like to see you give it a fair chance because I am really hoping it will work. The release can be amazing and I want you to feel that. I am a bit zealous about it, I admit it. Even if all you learn is a new way to calm yourself down from the anxiety- even that could be good.
My T uses it on a couple athletes to help improve their performances. With me, my creative juices just flow out of me, things I never knew I had. I guess that is why I am so excited about it, I have felt it change me so much this year in a lot of ways.
But that doesn't mean it will work the same for everyone. I don't receive cognitive therapy very well. I hate it actually, thankfully my last 2 T's were not trained in it as their focus. (they were required to take SOME classes in it though)My current T says it was a "bear" to learn, but she took the good out of it and uses it sometimes, but it isn't her main way to do therapy.But just the fact you are willing to keep trying in therapy, that shows a lot of guts and I respect you for that. If it works, great, if not, at least you can say you gave it a try. (again)
