I just started cognitive therapy with a new therapist, my 2nd session was last night. I asked her about EMDR and she referred me to another doctor in my town. I was so ecstatic that there was even a doctor who did EMDR in my town!!!! I wanted to ask you since you had a good experience with this treatment, when should I add EMDR? Iam going to continue seeing this therapist for talk therapy and some gradual desensitization, and she said I could add EMDR whenever I was comfortable with it. Is there a good time to start? or should I have a good base with the talk therapy first? I guess I'm just curious if I need to "know" anything before I start EMDR or if I just go and tell my phobia and we work from there. I'd appreciate your opinion. Thanks!
