Dear Jennifer,

I am not a pro at EMDR, but I am at fear. I had my first EMDR session today.....it was very uncomfortable to say the least. However, the discomfort came and went...and then re-appeared. I guess it is all part of the process. I do not know what you are dealing with, but it would seem to me that since you have established this great relationship with your therapist- and he/she wants you to try EMDR....your therapist cares! Furthermore, I remember reading some of what DR. Shapiro had to say regarding letting go- and allowing the treatment to work at your pace. I am sure if you address your comfort issues with your therapist, he/she will understand. Maybe you feel so close to your therapist, that you do not want to cry or act afraid around your therapist. Just some thoughts....my best to you in your endeavors Jean-Jacques Thiret
