EMDR may not be suitable for individuals with the following conditions:
Severe Dissociative Disorders: Those who experience significant dissociation may find EMDR destabilizing.
Unstable Mental Health: Individuals with severe mental health issues, such as active psychosis or severe bipolar disorder, may require stabilization before undergoing EMDR.
Lack of Safety: Those who do not feel safe or supported in their environment might not benefit from EMDR.
Complex Trauma: People with highly complex trauma histories might need a more gradual approach before EMDR.
It’s crucial to consult with a mental health professional to determine suitability for EMDR.
