EMDR

does anyone have any experience w/ this type of therapy? Or, have you even heard of it?
I went to a new therapist today and this is what she suggested, but my family doctor had never even heard of it!
I’ve posted this before, but no one responded. I’m hoping some of the newer folks are familiar w/ it. The therapist I’m seeing (have had four session so far) sure is sold on it, and I want to believe her. I guess I’m a bit jaded, though, after all these years.
If this doesn’t work I’ll try another therapist then ECT.
I’m just concerned that ECT will have detrimental effect on my performance at work.
Lord knows I’m trying, but I’m so scared of getting my hopes up and crashing that much harder. I’m not sure how much more I can take, and I don’t really care to find out.
