Hi, first time here. Just looking around and checked out your post. I had gone thru EMDR several times with my T and it can be exhausting. Usually I cant wait to go to bed after the session. Actually I purposely have my sessions sched at the end of week and also evening so I can go home sleep and not have to wrry to much about the job. Thurs night is where its at now and poss will event chng to fri. Anyhow, the next day is most times - uncentered - unpeaceful- My T says when you allow your brain to process the mem's that makes way for new mems that have also been blocked. They (the new) may still have no place to go but spin around and around. So if you dont have a similar mem box that they recognize then they do not fit. I think this is why there is unrest for a couple days after. I have found that the initial sessions were the hardest, and then the following although tough did get more familiar and not as stressful ... well depending on the mem. Anyway, for me at least, it takes days to process the work and then to be OK. Usually by my next weeks visit I am a little more centered and ready again...and if I am not then we dont do it... that is the key, it is up to you and you can go at your own pace. good luck hope this helped
