The End

[Snowflake]

Well yesterday I finished about a
1 1/2 years of EMDR involving a traumatic time in my childhood. I felt okay after the session but today I am having a difficult time. I have left 3 messages already for my therapist -even though it was pre-set up for her to call around midday. I am not sure what I am feeling. Had a small "trigger" this morning with my husband and I feel like I need to end it. I am also worried now that I shared my trauma with my therapist ....am I just as important to her? Is therapy close to finished? I don't know- but I am feeling something....just not sure what. Thanks for reading.

My 2 cents, I dont think you should end EMDR...i mean i only did it once when i wasnt ready and had a flashback & jumped completely over a chair (had no clue I could jump that high) and huddled in a corner saying "dont hurt me", but thats me...you have had many it sounds and its a good therapy I hear of memory intergration.

Edited to add: I think you should ride this trigger out. Try to ground until you can get a hold of your therapist.

On the other site I frequent, theres a psycotherapy section and in there theres a lot of questions of 'does my therapist care'...i think that my therapist would help me if say he was a family friend and i wasnt paying him...so most therapist care about their patients and most also are used to hearing about trauma so her hearing about your trauma, in my opinion, wouldnt change how much she cares or doesnt.

Does that help any?

What other site?

Just another mental health site. I dont name that one here and when refering to this one I dont name this one there. I dont want to advertise or pull anyone away from either site. Just needed a bit more rounded support as I have more than PTSD and needed support for the other disorders too is all, for me.
