What are the side effects?

As with any form of psychotherapy, there may be a temporary increase in distress.
1. distressing and unresolved memories may emerge
2. some clients may experience reactions during a treatment session that neither they nor the administering clinician may have anticipated, including a high level of emotion or physical sensations
3. subsequent to the treatment session, the processing of incidents/material may continue, and other dreams, memories feelings, etc., may emerge.
