EMDR started today

[LemonLime]

I did it!  Just finished my first EMDR session virtually.  So far so good.  It was simple, and I was able to feel a shift from shame to empathy during the session.  I am not having any ill effects, and will see if I have any strange dreams tonight.  I might feel a bit "lighter" today, not really sure yet, but I'll keep you all posted.  If you have things to share about your EMDR experience, I'm all ears.

I found EMDR empowering.  I was able to look at those traumatic events and the emotional load just wasn't there.

It takes great courage!  Good for you!

Agree, JKT.   And I'm sleeping so much better!  I wake up rested, for the first time in years.

Good for you Lemonlime, it's great that you are sleeping better and feel rested.  Yay.
