A member asked:
Have therapist appt tomorrow and we are going to do emdr for a traumatic memory i have. does it work in one session or does it take several?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes (=could be both): It depends on the extent of your trauma, the kind and number of triggers, how long ago it happened, and how well you "do" on your first session (in terms of following the concept and instructions). Don't go in expecting to be cured, just helped, and then you can hopefully be happier when done than when went in. Good luck!
