I have been advised and understand that Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a treatment approach that has been widely validated by research but only with PTSD. Research on other applications of EMDR is not in progress.
I have been specifically advised that distressing, unresolved memories may surface using the EMDR technique. Some clients have experienced high levels of emotional or physical sensations during the session. After the session, clients may experience fatigue, emotional dysregulation including but not limited to moodiness, sadness, anger. Clients may also experience continued reprocessing of material and other dreams, memories, flashbacks, feelings, etc may surface.
I have thoroughly considered all of the above and have obtained any additional information I deemed necessary. By signing this consent, I agree to participate in EMDR treatment and take full responsibility for any potentially uncomfortable events/experiences that transpire during or after an EMDR session.
