Hi, I'm new to the site.
I've had many panicked panick attacks. But last night, working on a particularly traumatic memory during self administered emdr, I had a positive break through about the events. Or shall we say bittersweet. But it was positive in as much as it got me one step closer to the truth I've been hidding from emotionally. But it was overwhelming... I started gasping for air, deep breaths, my heart racing...I was having a panic attack. But this one, rather than seeming panicked felt... Good? I lay on my side in a butterfly hug as I normally have to, to calm down, and went to sleep. Happy.
Has anyone else had this experience?
