Anyone tried EMDR therapy?

My therapist wants to try EMDR for panic disorder. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is supposedly good for this. Please let me know if you have tried this and if it works or not. Thanks.

I had this type of therapy done years ago and it was very effective. It seems to work best if there is a specific situation that is causing anxiety or stress on which the EMDR is focused. It desensitized the emotional reaction.

Thanks Mary. I will have to try it. Hope it works for the panic attacks.
