Soooooo.....my therapist had me do two sessions of EMDR, the first time (two years ago) I had a very bad reaction to it that left me feeling physically ill for weeks and I couldn't bring myself to go back for 6 months. Last year we did another session and my reaction was the same....haven't been back since and can't imagine ever going back to that. Is it normal to have such a negative reaction to EMDR therapy? Is my therapist screwing it up somehow? We are trying to work through some childhood trauma with resulting PTSD.
