Kay Dee Anthony: The chair is my dad's chair. Mine is very similar, only mine reclines back. Mine is in the room that is in the background. That is my den. That was Kisha with me. My pride and joy. She just had her hair cut last week. Kerri-Ann, what do you think of Kisha? A cutie...

Kay Dee Anthony I uploaded my picture. Hope it showed up. I am going to be out for awhile so talk to you soon. Like my gopher cheeks!!??

Kay Dee Hi all Went for the assessment. Before we even got started the therapist indicated she knew the therapist's partner; and in fact, rented office space from the therapist. Conflict of interest. So no assessment. She did give me the name of another therapist who does EMDR. I did...

Kay Dee Welcome Johnno I'm Kay. I just started posting here a couple weeks ago. I am glad to hear from you. I'll tell you that Anthony and Kerri-Ann and very caring, kind people. And I hope in sharing on this forum that I and all of us can help much. Yes, short-term memory, it stinks...

Kay Dee Hi all Have had the flu the last couple of days. Starting to return to normal, though. Tomorrow is my EMDR assessment. I don't want to miss it. So today I stayed home from work and slept. Last night, with the high fever had lots of vivid dreams and nightmares. Awful. But I'm...

Kerri-Ann I told Anthony that sometime in the next week, when I learn how to --- I will send a picture of me and my "Kisha". She is 10 years old, but still my little baby. She is mixed terrier and part dachsund. And sometimes I swear part human!

Kay Dee Anthony: Thank you for your kind note. You are sweet. I didn't realize cigarette smoking was connected to PTSD. I have smoked since I was 16. I tried to quit last August, and did so for four months. But I wasn't myself, and yes, had lot of craziness start surfacing. I have...

Kerri-Ann I also grew up on a lot of land and we had lots of animals --- dogs, cats, and horses too. My mother did not like my cat, that is why she got rid of him. I had had him for 8 years. My mother doesn't understand the bond I have with animals. Simply because she cannot bond with...

Kay Dee Anthony Again, nice to hear from you. Practice ---I have learned over time that when thoughts/emotions get real heavy, I try to start to think of positives. I used to lose my grip and my mind would sink and sink, and I'd be in great emotional trouble (suicide attempts/suicidal...

Kerri-Ann: Yes, Anthony and I have done quite a bit of talking. And I hope it has helped Anthony as much as it has helped me. My cat, Socrates, was given to someone because my mother advertised him in the newspaper without my knowledge. (Thanks, mom) I do miss him dearly. But some day I...

Kay Dee Evelyn Thank you for the information. I missed it at first, then saw it after replying to Anthony's note. The information you gave was helpful. The story of the dentist gives me a better picture of what the EMDR will do. And as far as the therapist I will be doing the EMDR...

Kay Dee Hi Anthony: Thank you for the picture. Your little guy is so cute. I could see how he could be therapeutic for you. Kids are so much fun, alive when they are at that age. I have three nieces and a nephew. They are the joy of my life. I have no children of my own. During my 8...

Kay Dee Friday! Need the weekend. However, I will work midnights tomorrow night. But that isn't so hard. Just staying awake. I took Monday off. Anthony -- Was surprised that you hadn't posted today. I enjoy reading your posts, and get a lot from them. I picked up a tablet today...

Kay Dee Hi Anthony It was good to read your post. I have been told too that underneath anger lies other emotions. The hard task is identifying what they are. I realize now that it does take time too. I certainly do not want to release my anger on my clients. I find myself at intense...

Kay Dee Hi Anthony: Oh, you can ramble on as much as you want. I am relating most things with you very well. Like emotions - especially anger. I have recently been having a problem with rage (which seems to come from nowhere), and great pressure in my head. This seems worse at work. I...

Kay Dee Anthony: Thank you for your note. I think I understand what a thread(s) is. If I do post something in the wrong place, or go somewhere I'm not supposed to, just let me know. I hand it to you for facing the "hard stuff" head on. It does sound like for you as time goes on you...

Hi Kerri-Ann and Anthony Thank you Anthony for moving my post. I am starting to learn a bit from my brother on how these forums work. But what is a thread? My brother is probably the one who would be most open to learning more about PTSD, and also the EMDR. He travels quite a bit, but...

Kay Dee Hi Kerri-Ann Thank you for your note. I must admit, I am a bit nervous, but we have to take risks on our journey through life. Yes, an animal lover I am; and yes, I do have a pet. I have a spoiled dog named Kisha. She is like my kid, and I spoil her to no end. She certainly...

Just a note . . . I have PTSD, at this time believed to be the result of a 5-year relationship with a therapist. I currently seeing a healthy therapist, and about to do an assessment for EMDR. I am divorced (14 years now); attended a 2-year Human Services Program in college for AA degree...
