I know just what you are talking about, thinkgood. I felt the same as you for my first few sessions. Like you I had no MAJOR traumas, but lots of smaller things that gave me negative views of myself. When I first started EMDR, I was trying hard to think of memories and of course thought of nothing. After a few sessions I relaxed a bit more and just let my mind wander. Whatever thought or idea came to me first, I told my therapist. They seemed pretty random, but she saw a pattern to my processing and after a while I saw how it was working. Now, I haven't finished processing many things yet so I don't know how well it will work for me. Right now I am trying to work on one of those negative beliefs I have that pattijane mentioned. Hopefully this will help. My advice is to try to relax a bit more and try not to overthink it. That's what helped me get started. Good luck!
