    I was an EMDR client and this exact experience happened to me too after my first session. My therapist told me the worst that would happen was I would feel disoriented, I felt way worse than that for a couple days - raw and overwhelmed with pain. I also abruptly ended therapy because I felt that she hadn't taken steps to make sure I was ok and I couldn't feel safe in the future working with her.

    I can't help but wonder how common this experience is...client should be warned this is possible. I'm looking for a new therapist but I don't know how to tell the good from the bad. Help!
