I felt last night that the online dom who I was with for at least 6 months and once went on at me to do something I didn't want to until I said yes and did it and went on at me to try it again after I felt faint cause he didn't realise it was serious, just made a mistake and I was too harsh by...

Child me in dream is bad and wrong. It deserves to be hit with a tree branch. It just sat there being abused and enjoyed it.

Dream child me is disgusting. I keep randomly thinking about the dream and it's making me angry at dream child me. I'm trying to tell myself it was just a made up scenario but that isn't helping
The situation with the online guy isn't bothering me much now. I've been focusing more on trying to process a past incident. I'm surprised the online thing isn't really a problem right now and I'm wondering if part of that is cause it was kind of my fault.
Also having this problem of feeling like I'm doing things wrong and also wondering if I'm trying to process something that's already been processed, since I've felt no emotions relating to the trauma after the first emdr session I did by myself.
I don't think it's that weird for a child though would feel awkward looking back on it now. You could try focusing on more important things like dealing with any trauma or everyday things.
I can't tell if my lack of any emotion or reaction to do with the memory I was trying to process yesterday is cause the memory is processed or I'm emotionally dissociating and I don't get how to know the difference???
