Hi Dreamseeker,
So sorry to hear you're having a negative reaction to EMDR. It may have stirred up more than you are ready or able to process. I can't do EMDR for reasons such as this. I get too emotionally overwhelmed, sometimes to the point of feeling retraumatized, even with the "safe place" and grounding techniques. For some reason, i get stuck in the negative emotions and memories and can't get through to the other side where the memories are processed and I'm free of the suffering. My t and I have quit doing EMDR for now.
I'm glad you called your t and left a message. I think she'll understand. After certain difficult EMDR sessions, my t told me as i left the office, "You know where to find me if you need me." I'm sure she realizes how EMDR can stir up alot of discomfort. Hope you hear from her soon!
