Post emdr anxiety relief tips?

[MrMoonlight]

I have EMDR every Tuesday and today was really tough, as tough as it's been really. I sat in my car for half hour to calm myself before getting on the road after the session. In these moments its hard to remember what to do. I got home and lied down listening to calming water sounds for maybe 2 hours. I'm going to do more deep abdominal breathing while listening closely to music. Then netflix.

Netflix really seems like the best medicine for me. I want to start doing EMDR once every two weeks. Right now it’s just once a month because that’s all I could afford, but I don’t want to slow progress. I can’t imagine doing it every week anymore though. I don’t know how I used to do that! I’m glad that you’re in treatment and you can find what works to calm you down at least for a little while
