    Just writing - Feeling Storms & Intrusive Thoughts

    Thank you. I was told to be easy on myself. To have no self judgement. To put the blame where it truly lies. To be self compassionate. To be "nice to myself" and let the feelings be felt. Unfortunately, I'm not good at any of those things. I'm doing EMDR Therapy. Have been doing it...

    Just writing - Feeling Storms & Intrusive Thoughts

    Only posted once here so far. Not sure what I'm doing exactly. Therapy has slowly been getting close and closer to "the thing" I don't want to talk about. That I blocked for years. That I haven't remembered alot of details about. Todays EDMR therapy touched it full on. I was told to...

    Word finding difficulties

    I've thought about this a little bit more. It's not that I can't find the words so much as i just can't get my mouth to speak them. My mouth/body simply stops cooperating with my mind. I'll start speaking and the first word or two comes out and then it's like my system goes into...

    First EMDR session… my brain feels numb and I had some wild thoughts in that session. Is this normal? UPDATED

    I've been doing EMDR for a little while now. Though I have weekly appointments with my T we do not do EMDR every week, though I think he'd like to. I'm incredibly good at avoiding it in any way despite knowing it will help me. I'm terrified of the thoughts and feelings it brings up so, like...

    Sufferer My first step

    Thank you so much. Its such an incredibly difficult thing, convincing yourself that what you don't remember is your younger self's reality. How now that it's been unearthed from that closed off area of my mind, little bits swirl around in my head from nowhere. Things that were never there...

    Sufferer My first step

    I'm not really sure how to start this post and I'm uncertain how far this will go. I'm not certain if this single post will be all decide I want to share. My hope is that the more that I type, the easier it will be. I found this site quite a few months ago after my T started speaking to...
