hi alex,
What you discribe sounds like me. My T does grounding stuff with me too and it usually annoys me, hear my voice, feel the movement of the air, notice the traffic outside the window. But the reason it is annoying is because I am present, I didn't go anywhere, I tell I KNOW where I am! Maybe he is practicing when I am not there or when the memories might get overwhelming especially when we get to the hardest stuff.
I guess EMDR is like dissociation because he takes you to "the moment" while you are there, you have to watch his fingers move back and forth.
only these daydreams aren't happy ones, I guess that is what I discribe it as daydreaming. But to do that in front of my T , must show I trust him because that leaves you vulnerable in a way.
I am on spring break this coming week and have 2 appointments, it will be hard.
Thanks Alex
P.S. I agree with your disappeared messages on that other site.
