I've been really struggling with the after-effects of emdr this week. I journaled about it to t, with the intent of giving it to her to read (or, if I found the courage, to read it to her myself)...
Even though I wrote it intending to show it to t, there's a lot of really vulnerable and shameful stuff in there. I want to be able to tell her, but I'm afraid of what she'll think. So far, she's said nothing I bring to therapy will make her think less of me, but what if this does it?
Part of me really wants to share these thoughts with someone finally. I want to get her opinion about it all, and maybe also tackle some of the issues I brought up. I'm just afraid I'll chicken out and not even talk around it, forget actually show her.
I dunno... it might impact therapy in a way I'm hoping to avoid (at least for the time being). :/
Do I still try to show her? Do I hope she doesn't mention it in session?
