Anyone else here doing emdr?
My t does it with me occasionally, usually when I'm stuck on a trigger and can't ground myself or something (an emotion, memory) just isn't "moving" on its own. The emdr helps stir things up and move it through.
She also uses the hand buzzers to do some guided imagery--sort of like deep relaxation where I just spend some time in my safe place to calm me, but we don't process any memories.
What I'm wondering...do you have a big reaction during the emdr itself? Or does the reaction come later?
For me, I just sort of go through the emdr process during session and then everything moves and settles in the 24-48 hours afterward. Almost like I'm turned upside down and shaken and then the pieces slowly settle back into the correct places.
Can anyone relate?
