Rainbow, I remember feeling "foggy" after my EMDR sessions. My brain seemed to be trying to get its balance. I think I did a lot of intense processing for several days after EMDR. So try to be accepting of your brain and what it is going through. It is probably doing some hard work and reorganizing some of its pathways.

Rainbow, if you think that might be it, you could ask your T if you could control the buzzers. My T always let me control the buzzers because he said I needed to adjust them to the intensity and speed that felt right to me. I don't know if that applies to the set-up your T has for EMDR or not. I know every T does it a bit differently.

I'm sorry you are sad. Sadness is hard. I hope you can discuss your sadness next time with your T. Whenever I share my sadness with my T, I get a lot of benefit. I don't know if you are depressed or not. My experience of major depression was similar to what Tree described--very non-functional, crying all the time, hardly able to do anything, sleep disrupted. Everyone reacts in their own way, though. Some people feel sad for months. Others feel numb. Some feel angry. If you keep feeling down for more than a few weeks, you might tell your doctor or T or someone....
