Informed consent for EMDR psychotherapy
Becoming aware of feelings attached to traumatic events can bring on strong feelings of langer, depression, anxiety, ect. There're no miracle cures. I cannot promise that your behavior or circumstances will change. I can promise to support you and do my best to understand you and your repeating patterns, as well as help you clarify what it is you want for yourself.
I have been informed EMDR is a therapy that is been widely validated by controlled research on PTSD. I'm aware that this research on other applications is currently in progress. There may not be extensive research supporting the use of EMDR with my particular problem. EMDR therapy will not erase memories, but the goal is to reduce the vividness and emotionality connected to those memories. EMDR can bring up painful experiences from your past and make them temporarily more painful. Upsetting, unresolved memories might surfaced with the use of EMDR. Clients may experience reactions to EMDR that include a high level of emotion or physical sensation in other memories, dreams, flashbacks, feelings and body sensations may occur. I will discuss these with my therapist and seek support.
