Question:
I am currently in therapy and my therapist is using EMDR techniques. I have been in long term therapy before but this is new to me. She is using it for trauma and abuse. I have a history of depression and initially sought out therapy for this problem. I am experiencing alot of anxiety (this is new to me) and feel overwhelmed at times. However the depression has subsided. Is the anxiety a normal reaction? I feel that there is alot of movement and think this is good. Is the anxiety something that is going to continue? Also my insurance provider limits my number of sessions. I don't have that many left and feel like I have a long way to go yet. One last question. I know that the eye movement and the light is most common, but she is using tapping (on my knees) Anyone have experience with this? Thanks
Answers:
I do know that depression and anxiety go together. If you have a history of depression, statitics have proven that in most cases you will have anxiety issues. Anxiety is horrible if not treated. Also it depens though how bad you anxiety is. I suggest that u talk to your therapist about your anxiety, so that u can get some kind of refferal so u wont have to deal with your anxiety by yourself. I also know that we only have a certain number of visits for this type of treatment, so be careful and save some visits if you can just in case you need to be treated for your anxiety. Hope this helps.
