Very frustrated with my therapist who is taking a very long time to initiate EMDR. I think I am ready to get on with it due to my being sick and tired of being sick and tired. I need to work on my patience today!

I fell like mine is also taking a long time! All we talk about is past grief. I always try to focus on overcoming all these symptoms and she always comes back to the same thing, but I guess it's part of the healing process.

EMDR is a process. I can respect that my therapist is very conservative and careful about this but I am ready to get on with it. Patience indeed!

I think EMDR is a good treatment. I had a tiny taste of it with my therapist when I was trying to decide what the heck it was. It really is powerful and takes time to get to the right point in therapy to start. Are you working on any coping skills for your anxiety?
