[QUOTE="Charbella, post: 1802450, member: 51937"] The weird thing is the sessions themselves are pretty much the same, fairly intense. It’s the after affects that have gotten better, that’s why I wondered like the OP if you can get better at it. I’ve had about 10 sessions at this point but not in a row. We did some back in December/January but the after effects were unmanageable so we took a break and went back to just talk therapy. Then we tried again towards the end of April and some more in May and recently. There’s still processing occurring after the session I’m just able to leave it on the paper better and it isn’t haunting me like it was. I don’t know that I’d say it’s working yet but then I have a lot to process with multiple abusers and a chaotic home life. I do EMDR one day a week and regular talk therapy 1 day a week which is also a shift but it helps to know that whatever after affects come up there’s another session to deal with it. [/QUOTE]
