1. No. Not in everyday life. I am blocked.
Yes, When I'm doing EMDR. T asks me to describe an event using the 5 senses and describe how I feel about it.
Then we do EMDR, during the process he eventually will come to the child part. When the emotion is evident I am then asked to use an adult alter to intervene in the scenario and console the child.
2. and 3. Yes during EMDR I am in the moment I am her, then an alter comes and consoles and takes the pain away.
No I don't like physical contact with people other than my family and very close friends.
4. No. She integrated therefore for that particular event I found that I can protect myself and that it was not "my" fault that it happened. So I don't think I'll be stopping treatment when I feel so at peace with myself afterwards.
Depending on the treatment your undergoing really makes the difference to the outcome. With EMDR my homework is relaxation exercises, CBT and using what I've learnt everyday consciously. Also at least 7.5 hours of sleep a night to ensure REM sleep.
I hope that this helps you.
