I walked into one of my abusers yesterday, and it did not do me anything! No flashbacks, no guilt, no bad feelings! I would call that a huge accomplishment for me! Have stayed away from town for years since I know he hangs out int the largest shopping center there with the rest of the pensioners gang! I actually saw him, and he saw me and he turned red like a new boiled lobster and ran!!!! The level of power has shifted! He does not have any power or influence over me any more!
Just wanted to share, because I am actually a bit proud of myself and what I have accomplished the last months with EMDR!

Now it's time for Christmas shopping and "taking back" the town!

Excellent Tch75. Enjoy your Christmas shopping and "taking back" not only the town but your power. Awesome! So happy for you :D
 
Thanks everyone!
Yes It is a fantastic feeling! Really!

He,he, AdamAnt, no I haven't been practicing saying Boo! With this guy, apparently my whole body language and attitude was enough to make him run! But I will practice the Boo thing!:D

Good for you! You are so lucky to have found some success with EMDR. The last therapist I saw knows how to do it - but I kept numbing and dissociating too much during sessions and we were never able to move into trying it. I have to work on the dissociating first. I'm glad it's working for you!
