Well, I'm particularly interested in your take on this. I thought it was a finite therapy, but it doesn't seem to be that way for me. Because of vacations and such, the last EMDR session was pretty much a bust, primarily because she taught me something good--how to meditate. She did it BEFORE we did EMDR so nothing came out. She really should have waited until the end to pull me back together, she decided, but I was such a mess I can understand why she did it.

I have a memory that I can't reach so we work on that mostly and other things pop up. Maybe I will be finished once I process that memory, or it will unleash a whole new wall of feelings. I just don't know.

My EMDR has moved my regular therapy along considerably, but it is still an adjunct. I think the end is coming, though, if I can't reach that memory. I understand how I felt as a young girl, and what it did to me, and I'm not sure how much more I can get out of EMDR. That said, I'm often surprised what happens. Since my insurance pays such a pittance of the cost, I guess I'll keep it up until my husband goes through the roof over the cost!

Best,
antigua
