I guess the beginning is hard because you start to see things as they really are/were. Can EMDR help with things in general, or do you have to have a specific situation you're working on? When I start to think, the stuff starts swirling around and I can't zero in on just one thing, it all starts to hit me at once. I will talk to pdoc bec. I worry abt my blood pressure going up and chasing the anxiety w/pills.
It might be anxiety making your thoughts swirl around. Don't worry about the EMDR, just go and make a connection with a therapist who does practice it, has all the proper certification. I went to a woman and I'm glad I did, because it does take a bit of trust in the process. It was hard, it's true it was hard to bring up specific emotions from past things but a good EMDR therapist will prepare you for that eventuality by giving you a lot of suggestions that will keep you comforted throughout the process. She'll be there with you throughout, walking you through it and helping to keep you safe. It's really very effective.
