EMDR T gave the green light

after her vacation (a week in a week) we'll start. First with a meeting between me, her, current regular T and someone from the unit I'll be staying during treatment. The way we do EMDR is like this: I'll go inpatient for a week and during that week I'll have EMDR twice a day. After that week I'll go home for a few weeks and just see my regular T. Then I'll have an EMDR week again.
It's easier to "just get it over with" than only an hour every week, and also easier because I don't have to be functioning because I'm not in "real" life (but inpatient).
Semi-depressed, it helped a tiny bit. So it's my goal to have a lot of tiny bits total up to some significant relief. :-)
