Re: Lying--An common EMDR problem?

Yeah for you, "Tired of this whole thing". I don't blame you for being angry, probably frustrated too, I know I am. I too, am not totally "sure" of EMDR. But being DID, I know those within me are strong believers. So, therefore, I am willing to give it a chance. We have great trust in our therapist, which is quite remarkable. My experience so far has not been promising, in my eyes, but there is much work to do and I guess anything worth while does take some time. I too, have found myself not being totally honest with my therapist in an effort to "please" her. But it never lasts, the truth always prevailed and she knew. But I believe that any therapy that may be helpful, that may allow a person to become free and empowered is worth the very least an effort. So I too, wish people would be more open-minded or at least find better things to do than try to contradict, invalidate, etc., without substantial proof, those professionals who are trying, with the utmost sincerity--to help those, as myself, that are in need. It would seem to me that mental health professionals would readily support one another in an effort to be of assistant to those in need. Rather I see "a few" who prefer to contradict others without, it appears, even giving this therapy a reasonable chance. How can you reliably and accurately comment if you haven't walked where others have walked?
