Ah but you did impugn motives, if you are the same anonymous skeptic, earlier when you attributed merely business motives to those of us who are EMDR practitioners and excited about it. The notion you posit of preferring a simple explanation to clients of exposure under their own power rather than arcane ministrations of therapists has logical merit but not ecological merit. For all the hundreds of EMDR sessions I have conducted in a decade, never once did anyone in any way imply or suggest that they felt my ministrations were arcane or that I was doing something to or at them instead of their having and owning their experience. In fact, your comment reveals that you don't understand how EMDR is practiced and taught. Very specifically, EMDR enables an extremely organic process to unfold, and EMDR practitioners are explicitly trained to stay off the track so the train can go down the track, unless there is a log on it, in which case we get the train unstuck. You may benefit from having the EMDR experience yourself, and you will see how organic it is. EMDR experiences and associations come from deep within, organically, as described in AIP theory. The EMDR client owns their experience profoundly. We arcane hand-wavers are the vehicles through which this organic experience is enabled. Sandra Paulsen Inobe, PhD
