<font color="green">One of the most powerful ‘warm’ moments in therapy for me was during EMDR. My therapist was talking about how others who had abused me, had missed out knowing me, that ‘they missed the treasure that was me.’ Perhaps because I was working so hard or because of the EMDR that just sunk into my heart. I was startled by the intensity of the emotion, looked into her eyes, and asked did she think I was a treasure. I could hardly breathe and felt my face turn bright red as I said it. She didn’t give me time to retreat or reject it, she said, ‘Yes, you are a treasure.” Those words sank deep into my heart and I walked around for a month or more using them like a warm blanket around my soul to cushion and protect it. "My therapist thinks I am a treasure"!</font>
