I absolutely agree. The first therapist that I did EMDR with was very close minded and actually traumatized me more. During covid my NP recommended another therapist- she does not live nearby but we do telehealth. What a difference. Thank you for your feedback. My sister-in-law has been also doing EMDR after I referred her and she said it has changed her life. I always say that the bad things that have happened to me have given me such empathy and I will not waste it. Idk if you are a religious person but I believe everything happens for a reason and that my horrible experiences will never be wasted. Sending lots of positive thoughts your way.
