It is weird how my mind floats somewhere after doing EMDR set to something that seems unrelated. My T is there looking at me, and I am thinking to myself about something, I don't even realize I stopped talking until he says something to tell him what is going on. It isn't dissociation, I am fully there and aware. This happened 2 times yesterday. One of the times, it was hard to even say what I was thinking, when I tried my voice sounded so soft and weak, he had to ask what I said. Normally I am talking a lot and kinda loud.
Last session I was focusing on my mom's evil eyes during EMDR, and then after the set was over, my mind went to really missing my dad, I wanted my dad to hold me, even though it wasn't something he did when he was alive.
But gosh am I dog tired today and so freaking depressed, just unhappy. EMDR wears me out a lot.
But i was wondering if any of you totally "go off into space" with your thoughts during T? Maybe I am just comfortable enough with him. One thing I do notice is that I hold no eye contact and I am fiddling with my sleeves or zipper or something, I don't look at him. Normally I hold eye contact in regular life well, even talking casually with my T most of the time. But in the middle of it all, I know he is there, but I don't look at him, my mind is within myself, running like a movie. I don't lose track of time, but I almost forget he is there, and my thoughts just take me inside my head. almost like thinking with my eyes closed, except they are open.
