I tried EMDR a little over a year ago. It was then that I learned that I dissociate & it was pretty bad. To the point that I would get in the car & drive & not know how I ended up in the opposite direction of my house after sessions. I never even knew what dissociation was or realized that I did it until EMDR. Now looking back I can remember times after something really upsetting happened when my brain just kind of went “offline” & shut down. I’ve been working on that for the last year, through mindfulness & yoga. I had a lot of flooding of memories & have done a lot of stabilization work/distress tolerance since then. I hope to attempt it again at some point, but it won’t be anytime soon.
