    Recovering from intense session

    Hi, That's good that your T is trained in Trauma. I did a few sessions maybe 6 years ago then started Trauma stabilizing therapy almost a year ago and it took almost a year of convincing from others for me to finally take the step to start EMDR. So I understand what your saying. EMDR is...

    Saw a recording of myself which shows the depth of my angry and violent thoughts - how can I manage the monster inside of me?

    Hi Equinox, Thank you for sharing your thoughts and story. A good psychologist/psychiatrist/therapist can be your guide through your darkness. There lies great power and confidence in having control over your rage/monster/daimons. Agression can be very creative if you channel it in things...

    Sufferer Maximum Federal Penitentiary, Hostage, USMC, & Childhood Trauma. 10 years without issue until MVA last March.

    That's some heavy stuff you're going through. Seems like a server freeze reaction. Some say isolation is a periode of grief a person can go through after a life of traumatic events. What psychologist are you seeing now?

    Hi Dug, Quote the life story so far. Thanks for sharing that. A year ago about the same stuff happened to me. Some one made a remark about my weight, because I gained way to much during the lockdowns, and I just imploded. Feeling empty, lost, dismal and I isolated and all the daimons of the...

    Desperately need help/encouragement "buying into" EMDR

    Going through that right now and it is challenging and also healing at the same time. It untangles much of my current behaviour with the original reason/trauma why I started doing it in the first place. Babysteps and like a turtle, but seeing and most importantly feeling progress. Thanks for...

    Desperately need help/encouragement "buying into" EMDR

    I agree with Friday. It is all neurology and biology. Buying into EMDR does help the process, meaning once you start with it that it is best to keep going even when your whole world feels upside down sometimes. It is of course all neurology and biology, which is a good thing to work on...

    Desperately need help/encouragement "buying into" EMDR

    Hi, Sorry for the storm you're going through. And it is very understandable that you have doubts about EMDR, but it's very good that you have questions about it. One might say that you're leaning into it babysteps wise. Before you do the actual EMDR there is a stabilisation periode of sessions...
