hello,
I'm worried about getting retraumatized during EMDR. Has this happened to people?
My therapist is a trauma specialist, or at least a hospital in 2015 who hooked me up with her told me she was. I tried to confirm it online and couldn't find anything.
I have done EMDR with her before but I was young enough that I had fewer boundaries with my mother at the time, who took me to a grocery store right after despite (1) the service dog not being with me and (2) me specifically saying I wanted to go home. I got retraumatized in the grocery store after seeing someone hit her kid. Was probably not even a big deal to most people.
I am very worried. Does anyone know what I could do to be less worried?
Thank you
Forgot to add:
This time I have told my mom that I want to go home immediately afterward.
Unfortunately my home is a disaster. It is the place where I was abused most (mostly?) and also it is full of trash right now.
I'm going to try to go to the storage unit today and get out a tent so I can just go camping in the backyard. Weather currently looks okay
I could go to my actual bed if needed
