Doing EMDR really desensitized a lot of my triggers. I don't react like I used to before. There was a time when I would practically go into a rage every time I had to walk through the fragrance area in a dept. store. I finally just stopped shopping in such stores for a while. Now I can walk through them again and not feel anything. Another time I was in a grocery store where for some really strange reason they had a live band playing. They played a certain Neil Diamond song as I was trying to select a package of meat and I got really pissed because I couldn't do it and wanted to beat the hell out of the singer. Other singers used to trigger me also. I have not had any new triggers in a while, but at least now when it happens I know what it is and why. I can request an EMDR session with M. if I need to.
