I think you need to raise your concerns with your therapist, do a heap of research on the net and ask all the questions you have.

You know what is best for you, you are the expert on you, so don't be afraid of being your own advocate. It's very difficult when your family is telling you one thing and your therapist is telling you another. Just trust in your own inner voice.

That said, I myself am very hesitant about EMDR. I know that for some people it has worked well for but my view is tarnished by the one person I know who has gone through it - a family member. She had a trauma but after EMDR she got worse and stayed worse. To me she became psychotic & delusional. Police involved. One trauma turned into several with some bizarre claims. She became extremely paranoid, trusted no one, turned against all the people in her life and started doing things like stealing and down right lying. I since found out that at some stage she was diagnosed with borderline. Also suspect bipolar. But who knows. I guess my point is I think EMDR may work if you have straight PTSD, I wonder about how it works with those with comorbid disorders. She may well be okay now, I have not had anything to do with her for a few years.

I know at the time I raised my concern about EMDR with this family member with the psychological board and they had reservations about EMDR being performed on someone with potential multiple traumas and potentially multiple diagnosises.

But this is one case only. As I understand there are many cases where people have made a remarkable recovery. You can even search on this forum "EMDR" and find quite a few threads.

It's your health, so ask heaps of questions. Trust your gut.
