Re:changing deeply felt beliefs

Thank you for your response. I am presently working with a trained emdr therapist and I can understand that "Emdr can & often does free up the processing so that head and heart can agree." A recent emdr session has helped me to see that and is the reason why I'm now wondering further about changing deeply held beliefs. I also know that "a therapist cannot select a thought and implant it in your mind with EMDR." - (In humour - even if that were possible my resistance would not allow it to happen, I'll believe what I want to and I'll do it on my time thank you!! I can be stubborn)

My question was more on how emdr could be used to help challenge/change a belief without memory available for when it was formed. I gather, from your response, that a focus on the feelings which accompany the belief would be a way to address this issue or, at least, to start the process of doing so.
