depending on the trauma, i've heard that it's helpful when there are memories that are too painful to address with plain "talk" therapy. however, i have also been told that people with dissociative issues- particularly dissociative identity disorder- find EMDR agitating and disruptive. it's also disruptive, apparently and understandably, to those dealing with abuse who aren't comfortable enough with the therapist. just passing on what others have told me. i haven't done it myself.
