Jumping in here again - I read this site before I started treatment. I was evaluated in 2 separate appointments before starting. I googled the therapist to whom I'd been referred. My take is that in the hands of an inexperienced T, that EMDR is not as effective. During my session I was carefully monitored for my emotional state, and we stopped and slowed down when I was overwhelmed or puzzled. It was completely within my power to cease and that's what made the EMDR so powerful. I was certainly advised of the possibility of feeling euphoria, and then it dissipating. Today (Sunday), I'm a bit more even mood wise, but very tired.
I remain feeling that for me, EMDR is the twine that ties the other modalities of treatment together and makes them effective.
