Emdr

[Fayne Jane]

I made it through my EMDR, I have remembered my attack, have gone through the rape although I dissociated from it. I am now on my way to recovery and healing. It has been one of the hardest things I have been through. Buy now i am stronger yet lighter, my anger is under my control and I haven't been over reacting. I finally feel I am on the road to recovery from being beaten, raped and left for dead. I have had a great therapist and truly believe EMDR is a great way to deal with trauma. I am alive again. You can all do it too.

Congratulations and thank you for the encouragement. I'm struggling with EMDR everytime I go I dissociate so bad I was wanting to quit I'm still considering brainspotting instead maybe that will be easier. So much as come out in the last 30 days very hard to deal with but today was a success. I was finally able to process little bit. He pulled a lot of new tricks out of his bag and it was a successful day so I have hope for the future. Thank you for sharing.

Congratulations and thank you for the encouragement. I'm struggling with EMDR everytime I go I dissociat...

I was really struggeling at first in EMDR. Just "seeing pictures" but not beeing able to access the feelings associated to them. It was way to scary! I got the feeling that if I did I was going to die. Also I felt that it was to lonely in a way. Sittning there just looking att a finger wawing from one side to another. Completely alone with all the emotions that I had to dissociate, since they were to overwhelming to handle when I was a totally abandoned child.

The my therapist switched from wawing her fingers to tapping my knees. That made all the difference. Still scary as h**l! But now Im able to access the feelings and bit by bit process. And strangely, right now, the sessions are way much easier then daily life. Since when Im sittning in the office I know Im doing something to handle the emotions. But out of the office I have no clue what to do with everything Ive opened up to (yet). So today Im just staying at home in a dark and quiet room scared of all the rage that surfaced inside of me in yesterdays session. Looking forward to monday and my next session so I can do some more work.

And, Emdr is truly amazing! I truly belive in it!! It is such a hard job. But I have fate that it'll be worth it in the long run.

Best of "luck to" to the two of you in your process!!

Well done on your achievements. As someone who has just begun to want to seek treatment for her trauma, I recognize the long road ahead. You should be incredibly proud of yourself, as you are the one who has done the hard yards. :)
