Well, I made it through my first go at EMDR.
I was so anxious beforehand that I took a little Seroquel (pdoc gave me 25mg pills to take for anxiety if needed, but I still have my klonopin if I need that as well). That calmed me down some which was good. I have to say, I was quite surprised at where my mind took me...things that I never would have thought of as being related to my trauma came up and I was flooded with so many emotions. I cried, and that is rare for me in T.
Afterwards, I felt very vulnerable, and tired, and a bit anxious...so when I got home, I took some klonopin and took a nap.
