I used to ask my EMDR for breaks during the eye movement stuff because it was too intense and she said she’d fire me as a patient Oh that's absolute bullshit. (Her, not you.) The patient needs to feel safe, secure, and stable before doing any EMDR precisely because it can be intense. If she asked you to "power through" she needs to lose her license. I hope you fired her instead. EDIT I don't know if you're interested in reading anything, but What My Bones Know by Stephanie Foo was an absolute godsend. It goes over her experiences with therapist -- some good, some bad, some terrible, and one great.
