This is a very interesting question, whether the abreactive/trauma processing work outside of EMDR for DID clients produces similar or different results as that produced by EMDR. I think it is thorny however one processes, partial whether with EMDR or without, so one has to go back and check to see that all the channels are clear. EAsier to conduct with EMDR than with hypnosis in my opinion. If one goes back and checks material processed hypnotically, by doing EMDR, I expect one might find additional material that is held, say for example, in the body. However, these comments are in general only and may or may not apply in any specific case, such as your case. EMDR is not mind control or programming. The client owns it, all the material comes from within, the client can stop it, and it is the client's own magnificent healing tendency that guides the work to a resolution. Good luck to you. Any DID folks care to comment?
