Not necessary. I would not base my opinion of a therapy (a drug, a talking therapy, or a new-age therapy like EMDR) exclusively on my own experience of it, but on well-designed clinical studies, or in the absence of such studies, on the existence of well-documented case reports.
At this time there is no evidence that the eye-hand movement aspect of EMDR has any therpaeutic eeffect, nor is there a plausible theoretical basis for it.
