Re:Exposure and retraumatization

Nicely done, Puffer.

I wonder if treatments in which the client doesn't have to initially say what they are experiencing, completely, is less shame-evocative than treatments in which they do. Sometimes people need to process through some layers without full descriptions until the shame subsides, or until they have a little perspective on it, and then can articulate.

Another thought -- what if the EM sets in EMDR serve in part to keep the therapist's mouth shut? so that desensitization and/or exposure can occur (in the client I mean).
