Has anyone done emdr outside of their erp therapy?

Yeah... 8 or 9 years ago I chose a therapist specifically because that was her main gig 🤔

A lot of people seem to be disappointed when it's not a magic bullet for everything, but I think it's helpful for trauma work and situations where you want to "reprogram" your brain a bit 👩🏽‍💻

I’m going to soon.  Curious to see how trauma work also helps OCD. 

EMDR is basically exposure therapy, according to dismantling studies, so it’s essentially more imaginal exposure with other fancy (ineffective) bits thrown in. If you’re looking for trauma therapy specifically I would suggest one the APA recommends, like cognitive processing therapy or prolonged exposure.
