This forum is not a good place to do case consultation, and certainly not diagnostics, so I must refrain from specific case comments. In general though, EMDR is helpful with performance anxiety and social phobias, using a variation on the standard protocol that targets the entire process instead of a focal moment. This statement is based on clinical case reports, not controlled research. As is always the case, each client should be screened for a dissociative disorder before embarking on a course of EMDR treatment. The EMDR procedure is quite different than the usual protocol when a client is dissociative. For any client who exhibits marked state specific behavior that will be the focus of treatment, the EMDR needs to access that state.
