Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing: Major step forward or much ado about nothing?

Have you ever looked empathically at a client and said something like, "I wish I had a magic wand that I could just wave over your forehead and all your problems would go away"? Iknow Ihave. The rest of the story, of course, is telling the client, " But there is no magic wand. You'll have to work hard. Change will come slowiy. The old way will be the easy way, etc." Or, is there a magic wand?
