    Re: 8 sessions of EMDR and no relief

    Hi,

    I can't cite you studies at the moment, but I can tell you, after practising EMDR for 10 years and teaching it for 4, that phobias which are complicated by or caused by childhood sexual trauma do not respond to EMDR in 6-8 sessions. They tend to be a symptom of the trauma and must be worked through with longer-term EMDR, integrated with ego-state work.

    Good luck,
