So I can't have EMDR because I have chest palpations from anxiety...

But EMDR is what would help with the anxiety and palpations.

I can't treat the cause because of the symptoms...

And nobody thinks that's weird...

Deciding if I should give up on my mental health.

EMDR was my last hope.

Hmmm. Please try to get another opinion.

Failing that...
Ever Tried accupunture? Or other other alternative practictioners? (e.g. Homeopathy)? Many are not good, frankly, but I have known couple good ones and a vet.

@Neoerectus I have tried everything I could afford.

I may just move on to a different therapist that doesn't require my doctor's consent because it isn't required. That was just her.

@EldritchFox Hang in there! Our medical system is dysfunctional. It makes us work harder than we should.

BTW, try to find research on the use with folks despite the cautions... might be able to build a case. If you find a popular press article, copy the original journal article title referenced and find it.
