It sounds like they are preparing you for the EMDR work that you will be doing. I also was suffering from PTSD a year ago, and EMDR helped me so much, it changed my life with only one session. It is intense, so you do need to know how to ground yourself in order to feel safe.
Will your therapist be in the room with you when you do the EMDR? My therapist is my EMDR specialist. He has been doing it for over 10 years and has training in phase 2. I wish you the best, it is scary (at least for me it was), but it can make a world of difference. Can you imagaine a life without PTSD? Well I can because I am living proof! :)
