Dissociated In The Middle Of An Emdr Session

[Barconian]

@stuff, By having you disassociate in front of your T in the middle of EMDR, by also talking about it openly on the forum with us nutters and also recognizing what is happening! I think your next EMDR session will be easier. You now know the worst thing that happens is you disassociate, Dr Patti tries selling herself to you :D and/or you might feel drained and vulnerable for short while after, which is really quite normal!!! I would like to say... Well done "stuff" I think you might surprise yourself and leap this hurdle :)

I'm doing EMDR with a qualified Therapist. It has been very helpful. One example of success is work with flashbacks and terror/panic attacks from a particular trigger, that is an annual two month struggle, dissolved. The wonder is that I didn't even notice tat I went through that season unscathed. I only noticed that the struggle didn't happen at all when we were raking the fallen leaves. For more than 20 years, I had been suffering with Si and Hypervigilance, serious anxiety, DID over this past season. I remember the events of that season over different years. I can remember my feelings but at a much softened level.
