In reply to EMDR didn't do a thing for me, posted by Dinah on January 26, 2004, at 20:14:37
I don't know Dinah. I can't think of anything else offhand that costs that much money that we would be willing to keep going back for even when it showed no results. The lottery maybe? Racetrack? Psych meds? On the other hand there are always a few winners in all of these things - if only to keep the rest of us coming back - so maybe you will be one of them. Can you tell that I'm feeling cynical tonight?
I'm sorry it didn't do more for you and also that you now have to make the difficult decision about when enough is enough. Despite my cynicism I really don't know the answer to that one. Do you have any "gut feelings" one way or the other? Do you still have a good feeling about this person?
I know you are aware of the argument that it isn't the EMDR technique at all that is effective but just plain old therapy. Is it possible that you didn't get any effect from this because you already have what you need in the way of therapy from someone else?
