Finished With Scheduled Therapy, Exciting And Scary

[BeatenMan]

After a year of steady EMDR and meeting with my awesome T, yesterday she says, I think we are done. I was a little taken back and she explained that we have pretty much worked through all major stress points in my life, we have processed all of the remembered trauma and we havent really had much come to surface in recent appointments. She said the memory gaps may or may not ever come back but dont seem to be effecting my current emotional state. I feel like this is a major milestone, I believe she is right but there is always that side of me that is scared that the crash always follows the good times. But im staying positive, Im a week into tapering off of my Lexapro and feeling pretty good. Wish me luck and lets all hope im not back over in the other forums wandering how I will survive this next week :O_o:

Congrats to you, @BeatenMan! Take it slowly, day by day, and I hope that you will feel able to reach out for help - here, from your T, wherever - if you should find yourself struggling or slipping back into old thinking, feeling, behavior. This thing has a way of creeping back up on us at times, but that never means we have failed! Just remember that! :)

Strong work!! :tup:
