To be honest I'm not entirely sure how it works myself! It's something about making memories safer by using repetitive movements. I like the idea of it because uou don't have to say the memory out loud just think it whilst watching these little red dots moving from side to side.
You do have to be ready to face it though. The pysch who will be doing mine told me it was hard work ad at the time I was too unstable for it. She said all I'll want to do afterwards is sleep. The mindfulness has helped me dissociate less which is important for emdr as there's no point if I'm off in my head somewhere.
I bought a book on it though I can't remember IRS name but it might be worth looking o play or something.
