I'm not a dissociator, but I've had some EMDR for some childhood tramma.

is it okay that I post here anyway?

I was really scared that it would bring up new stuff, but it didn't. I can't emphasis enough about the trust thing, I only agreed to it as I had seen this T for two years already.

I loved the EMDR experience. I couldn't 'do' the visual, I'm a visual learner and it was too much bombardment and I got nausous feeling with the stuff in the background. So I closed my eyes and she tapped on the chair.

For me I would describe my memories as a slide show, and EMDR put it all together, as in movie form. I was aware of more of myself afterwords...those parts that had been cut off...actually it was easier for me to let go of some pain then, as EMDR made the tramma more real to me.

(I'm really sorry if I'm not supposed to be posting here)
