Werewoman,

Thank you so much for sharing your insight and experience. It is very helpful and gives me more faith that I'm on the right path. Honestly, I've never really realized how much stuff over the years has been brewing underneath the surface, thus leading to this chaotic way I've been living. 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.
