Yes I agree, a T should call back with a day or so. Most would, so maybe they are on vacation or something. Does your T have any suggestions?
They will need to take a history on you, just like any T would. I have read the link before and phobias are not as treatable as other issues. It would depend why you have the phobia to begin with I would think. Was it due to trauma related incident (even if not remembered) or is the phobia unrelated to anything. I have a phobia of deep water and spiders, both are trauma related, one goes back before the age of 3. So I guess it depends on many things. Some T's are better at dealing with phobias than others, some know EMDR and some do not. Some T's return calls and some don't, you know how some T's can be.

In addition to the fact that it did nothing for me the time I tried it, I think I'd also say that the description of my phobia/obsession falls more into the category where they said EMDR may not be as helpful - even if I had responded.
