Hey. Yeah, I guess it is an intense memory. I'm not sure about EMDR. Happy enough that my therapist hasn't mentioned it, I guess. Don't get me wrong, I know a lot of people find benefit from it (but then a lot of people found benefit from NLP techniques, strategic application of magnets, and so on). I guess I think... That the mechanisms of change are probably something that can be hooked into without doing the EMDR...

E.g., Briere talks about remembering in a safer environment. The discrepancy between the memory of solitude / fear / pain etc together with the therapist being there being kind and so on. The mismatch between the distressing past and the benign present is meant to rid the memories of their emotive power...

Yeah visiting bf. Going somewhere in the mid-west. (Won't narrow it down anymore than that 'cause I'm a little paranoid about anonymity - sorry)
