NotTooLate's latest activity

for me? yep. Alot. sigh EMDR is exhausting, so it can spin the fibro up and make me so tired afterwards that I can barely move. And...

Cool, cool! I’ve moved the thread over to ‘Other Disorders - Fibromyalgia’ to reach the most members with PTSD+Fibro for their experiences.

Sorry, I meant Fibro symptoms. Did the EMDR affect Fibro in any way? Thanks.

For those who suffer from Fibro and have gone through EMDR, I'd love to hear your experiences. Has EMDR helped relieve symptoms, made...

Cold, but sunny with light winds. Best way to get around in the snow ❄️

How you doin'?

Snowed a LOT last night. It was so awesome, being up at 3am and just watching it come down. I love the snow.

@NotTooLate I can hear the crunch of snow underfoot--lovely photos!

So cold! -6F, feels like -27F, but it's pretty.

-6F, feels like -27F. Why, oh why, do I live here?!

I like yoga with Adriene. On youtube and in her site. All of her's, that I've done (which is quite a few), I really like.

Thanks! I'll check it out :)

I quite enjoy the ones of fightmaster. It's well explained and in a good format with some videos oriented for managing back or shoulder...

Just what the title says, what are your favorite yoga videos? TIA 💕 🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️

Got my first round of vaccine yesterday.

Took these at 2am. I was really surprised by how very light it was.

I might have to give it a try. Thanks for your insight!

Back to the point- Yeah, it is great to be able to finish a session, tune in a good station or load a CD and just sit and drink cold...

@NotTooLate thanks. I know of what I speak- The risk is unimaginable until something happens, then it is unforgettable.

I normally don't. The anger took over 😥 and I didn't even realize I was doing it. 😯

Oooohh! This is a great point! I always feel that it's probably not safe for me to be driving either to or from my sessions. Last week...

Our virtual emdr has been going fine. We make a butterfly hug and tap left and right. Sometimes I may just tap my legs or feet, like...

My current T and I have never met in person. He is actually a psychologist and we are using a hybrid form of EMDR where the feelings and...

Yep, I have no choice. My T uses a site like emdrremote.com that provides a a ball bouncing back and forth across the browser screen...

I have similar fallout initially after the first emdr session so we do a follow up the next day to process anything unprocessed. I found...

I am reading all of this with so much interest as I'm currently considering switching therapists to one that is more trauma-focused and...

We have changed up the emdr many times. I’m grateful to have an experienced therapist who knows different techniques to use in complex...

I've been doing EMDR for abuse that spanned 25 years. My therapist and I figured out to just take one room at a time in the house I...

It is like that for me too, sometimes. My first experience was so revealing, and I guess refreshing in that years of talk and a laundry...

My responses vary. Sometimes, I feel more peaceful. Other times, very, very tired. This week, I'm happier, but completely emotionally...

Unfortunately, everyone's different. Also, I find processing is slightly different for me each time depending on what target I'm working...

If you are having to ask.......I'd go looking to check out my options. Trust your gut on this one.

Thank you so much for sharing this! It gives me hope ❤️ So glad you found a good fit and were able to make progress. 🤞I will too.

I can really relate to this. I also have a long history of struggling. I have CPTSD from abuse. My first therapist had trauma training...

Then this is a great opportunity to obtain and practice those tools before you start a really arduous process like EMDR. This is...

Thanks for the responses. I will talk to my T on Monday. I know I can't be, but I am impatient and just want to push through to get to...

Have you asked your counselor if she does any trauma work? There are other therapies besides EMDR for trauma.

I agree with @somerandomguy. Everyone is unique in their need set and pace in order to build tools. I underwent a solid block of time...

I've been working with a counselor for a few months now and although I like and trust her, I'm not sure I am getting what I need. When I...

Luckily, my therapist is constantly reminding me that we need to take baby steps. I'm the one who is pushing to get it over with. She...

I'm 49 and the trauma started while I was in the womb. Decades of repression. Decades of not understanding why I could never truly feel...

I'm wondering if it was a bad idea to start therapy. Everything is getting worse. I can't pretend to be "normal" right now and don't...

Thank you for all of your comments. I've read them all and definitely appreciate you sharing. I got the perfect ball to throw at the...

I have had times when my brain is saying the best thing I could do was slam full force into a brick wall. I never tried it, thank...

Yes I do but my coping strategy for that form of heightened mood generally has been shit. Like confrontation-seeking and furious...

Yes. The punching bag is one approach and I've found it to be helpful. I've got something else too, but you're probably not going to...
