i also did EMDR a couple years ago, worked thru some childhood trauma that i literally did not even know was impacting my current day emotional state.
he just used his finger (shut up pervs) and an audio tick-tock sound, basically had me following it back and forth. Baboo except more pronounced 😄
anyway, the tears started about one minute in which surprised the hell out of me. by the end i literally felt like i was going to pass out sitting up.
i mean, this was something from when i was NINE years old! i always had the memory but just never, ever felt any real impact, always just like 'eh, coulda been worse, whatever'. but damn if it wasn't a huge breakthrough on the current issues in my life that had prompted me to start seeing him in the first place.
i would recommend it.
both psilocybin and mdma can have incredibly positive mental health impacts, there's ample evidence at this point.
i enjoyed them both recreationally a great deal as a young person, i always preferred psychedelics. i've often thought i'd try them both again as an adult if/when i ever had the opportunity 😊
