I recently over the last few months starting going to counseling for relationship issues. I had trauma in my past, my father pasted away when I was seven and my counselor suggested emdr to release feelings surrounding his death.
I did go to therapy as a teenager and dealt with some of my feelings surrounding my feelings over my father's death, but never did endure and never heard of it till now.
Well I have done one session and before this I rarely had trouble sleeping and NEVER had a n anxiety attack.I do not feel like myself after this and I wish I never did emdr. The fist day she did emdr session I felt relaxed but two days later is when the numbness, panic attacks, loss of appetite, nausea, sleeplessness, and sadness.
Its started out very strong where I couldn't calm down and even met with my therapists, she didn't know what to tell me as she never seen anyone process it like me before. I went to emdr website and called to see what qualifications she had apparently passed part one but not two. I have done my research before hand and thought it sounded perfectly safe, but now I am not sure.
It's been three weeks since my one indoor session and at times I still feel these surges of sadness and still am not sleeping well at night. I am also still getting a feeling like I am not here like I am walking around in a dream, having trouble concentrating, suffocating feeling like pain that won't come out. I am trying hard to get past all this and moments I start to feel a little better but then its like I am hit with a wave of emotions and it starts again....
