Integration of alters when working with EMDR

Dear Dr. Inobe,

I am a victim of childhood trauma who is going through EMDR work to deal with this. I am also dissociative.

My question is, do you find that alters spontaneously integrate with EMDR when their traumas and issues are processed?

I find a rapid and enormous lessening of affect, and acting out, but does integration happen?

Thank you in advance for your response.

Diane
