I tried it briefly....didn’t do much for me but I did not do it long enough for it to be effective. I have heard good things about it,

I did actually. I my case it helped, I mean if you had a trauma that caused the onset of the OCD symptoms it might help, but EMDR is primarily used for trauma and not OCD, but we me it did make the traumatic time I had much better.

Your welcome.

I tried it and I found it helped a lot. We worked on using EMDR to remove the feelings of shame I tied to my intrusive thoughts. I did it back in 2018 and I still don’t feel shameful about it and can talk about it now
