My therapist has suggested trying EMDR for my anxiety. Has anyone been through this? It seems scary

    I haven't, but my friend who has, swears by it. She wants me to do it but I can't afford it.

    I would definitely give it a go, nothing scary about it at all.

    Not scary at all, Steve. Very, very useful in my own recovery. Just make sure you see a properly qualified and experienced practitioner. A lot of our fears are caused by old trauma and EMDR is an excellent way to work with this trauma. Well worth it. Good luck.
