On one hand, I am frightened that EMDR will bring even more stuff to light that I've buried in my subconscious. On the other hand, I just want relief and to consistently be able to face whatever life throws at me, make positive choices, and know that deep down I will be ok. I've avoided SO much all these years and I know that the key to freedom is by acknowledging and grieving for what I've lost so I can finally move forward. I've been self-limiting for far too long. Its quite daunting to say the least! But knowing some sense of peace feels like the journey, no matter how difficult, will make it worthwhile.

Just to give you perspective on where I was before treatment and where I am now....I'm 53 years old and if you had told me when I was 40 that I had been horribly physically and sexually abused as a child and teenager, I would have called you a blithering idiot along with a few more choice words I can't use here.
I hope you have as much success as I have.
