Hi. TY. My protector wrote the above. In all honesty, i don't know what my T was talking about either, since i must have not been totally there when it was being discussed. But i trust my T that he knows what's he's doing. He's a published author plus, he consults with Sandra Paulsen (who is an expert with EMDR and dissociative cases). He's also been working with trauma patients for 25 yrs plus. I trust him but sometimes others toss in a monkey wrench.
My Protector, on the other hand, has trust issues which i understand and have come to appreciate and be grateful for, since he saved our lives...at least, that's what it feels like to me.
Since out last session, however, there has been unrest and anxiety which i can't figure out. When i ask inside (which i've learned to do), i think that protector and another are in blocking mode even though they both say they are on board now and want to move forward. And two other insiders are wanting to help. One of them is also a protector.

Thanks for the illustration of what EMDR is. My T has been very cautious about using it with us. Like my Protector said, it's been more than 5 yrs with this T. I really want to move forward and heal now. And my Protectors say they are on board with that.
thanks again for the responses,
Silvergirl
