Sorry to hear it is still up in the air and am praying for you. Do not feel any pressure to reply to me if you are feeling like you are needing to hide, but I wanted to let you know I was thinking of you. God Bless Helen

I am so glad that you did find the treatment you needed through a charity. I agree totally about the problems with the NHS and lack of funding and experienced massive issues myself when a limited number of sessions came to an end and though lots of things came up outside my control right at...

@cherryblossom my therapist also made it very clear that it was important to have support and be in a stable enough place before doing the EMDR and was working with me prior to starting it and helped me get other support in place too, and also reevaluates each session to decide together if it is...

No my therapist is also under the NHS but is independent to the mental health services and I was referred separately to her by my GP. Helen

I am also in the UK and am having EMDR as part of my therapy on the NHS, but this is part of therapy I am recieving from a sexual therapist and though it is also under the NHS I was referred idependantly to her by my GP because of problems in my mariage with our physical relationship, as well as...

Sorry to hear about your nightmare. I hope you did manage to get some peaceful sleep after you had written on here. I agree with @Echo about the reasons you are likely to be experiencing this. I think our bodies and minds do what they can to protect us and know my therapist talked to me about...

Been thinking of you and wondered how everything was going. God bless Helen

I'm not surprised that as you are working through things that it has been harder with the assault and though I imagine this must be so hard, do believe in the long run it is a good step, as I suspect it is likely that you are much more in a position to realise that the things which happened...

I am so glad to hear that. Well done. God bless Helen

I have realised that for me the biggest problem with the things I have experienced in the past are the things I have taken away from it and things it has taught me about myself, which have a massive impact on everything in my day to day life now and how I have continued to treat myself. I am...

I am sorry to hear that you are feeling bad about the way things are at work and the effect this is having on you at the moment. I think it is amazing that you are doing so well at your job despite all the difficulties and really feel that it is important that you remember and take hold of that...

I just wanted to also say welcome to this forum. I hope by now with the responses you have had that you will be feeling a bit more like you are totally welcome here and do belong and know that as we learn to listen more and more to ourselves that the things which do need to come up and be faced...

I am really glad she was so supportive and hope it goes well tomorrow. God bless Helen

I am sorry to hear it is so hard for you with so much conflicting messages. I would agree totally that this decision has to be yours. This is for you and not for anyone else, and ultimately about keeping yourself safe, whether that is by reporting it and taking that stand or determining in...

I am sorry to hear it has been such a hard few days with so much miscommunication about what support you can be expected to receive but am also so glad that there have been some people who have been able to be supportive and understand. I am really hoping that as all the adrenalin of everything...

I just wanted to say welcome to the forum too. I have found this site very good and there a lot of good people here, and you do not need to worry about what you can or cannot give. You are here because you deserve friendship and support and I am so glad you feel you have been able to reach out...

I have been thinking about you and wondered how your meeting had gone? Praying for you and hope you are ok. Having read some of your other latest posts I am not surprised how hard this situation will have been for you and am praying you really can learn to see yourself through the eyes God has...

It is no surprise that you are nervous but you are doing so well and I am praying for strength and courage for you. God bless Helen

I am so glad she was so supportive of you whatever you decide and really hope you are able to get the support you need from the centre and feel that you are doing so well to be working through so much and looking into and considering all this. God bless Helen

Therapy for me is about finding a safe place where I can work through all the things which are coming up but to also build resources to be able to also find that safety when things are happening outside the setting too. For me music is a big part of this and I have personally written a few songs...

Therapy is for you not her. It is not selfish and is incredibly important that you do know that you are safe and ready if you do do this EMDR. She should be aware of this and I do find it very concerning that she is putting these pressures on you. Ultimately I really do believe it is so...

I think I have had so much experience myself with going back to that place that it relates in some ways too, but know I am slowly realising that just trying to make it all go away does not ever really work and that it really is possible to find freedom from going through and facing it. That...

I have just read this thread and though most things have already been said and I am so glad that there are so many people who do care and support you so much I wanted to just say also how well I feel you are doing to even be considering this. This to me feels like you have made such a big step...

I am sorry that you feel that way when it was the first time you shared so much and it is understandable that there would be that much emotion. I really do believe that though facing it is so hard that it is possible and do believe it will ultimately bring freedom. The fact that you have finally...

From what you have said today it sounds like she is putting things from her own mother onto you and that she does not sound like she is listening to or understanding where you are at very well and if this is how you feel then I would definitely agree that doing EMDR and therapy with her would...
