First EMDR session next week - what to expect

Posted by kezia on December 12, 2007, at 10:18:09

I have been seeing my current therapist (well, my first therapist ever actually) for a couple of years now. We have been talking about doing EMDR for a number of months and have decided that I will be ready for a session next week.
I have no idea what to expect and am a little nervous. I have a hard time opening up and am worried that my therapist will just be wasting her time. Also, a friend of mine had EMDR for similar issues as me and it was, initially, quite traumatic.
Could those of you who have been through EMDR share your experiences with me. I would really appreciate it.
Thanks so much.
