I have a trauma history and today in therapy my therapist mentioned EMDR as my next form of therapy. I am doing DBT work right now with her and we both agreed that we do not want me to stay stuck so EMDR would be the best thing for me right now with my trauma. She gave me a referral to one of her colleagues who I actually already know because of DBT group. The hope is that I would be able to go to her since she does EMDR and is DBT certified. My therapist also believes she does take my insurance because this is another huge factor. I am seeing my current therapist on a sliding scale and my father is helping me pay for it. Most insurances don’t cover DBT and EMDR therapies so this would be great if her colleague takes my insurance so I will not have to borrow money from my father. Anyways, all this to ask if anyone has done EMDR? I’m concerned because it is an intense form of therapy that it may exacerbate the “voices” and “hallucinations” (quotes because I am struggling to grasp that it may be happening for me). I will definitely bring up my concerns when the time comes. I just wanted to come here and see if anyone had any personal experiences.
