I’ve only had 2 sessions for EMDR. This past Wednesday we focused on a small impact thing. It was regarding something very little that gave me anxiety for the first time, as a 2nd grader. As we did EMDR and focused on that memory, I was thrown into a full blown panic attack; my check was too heavy to breathe, the pain of it was going around my side into my back, I was sweating, shaking, crying. My therapist had to calm me down, and it took a solid 10 minutes for me to calm down. She told me it could continue for a few days, and it sure did! I was so anxious from Wednesday evening through early Saturday morning. It was about 4 am, and I was still awake because I couldn’t sleep. I finally fell asleep and slept for 6 hours and woke up feeling okay! When I think back to that memory; I don’t really feel anything. I don’t get anxious, or sad, or anything! It’s just a memory. So I think it’s going to work, and I’m so excited for it. I don’t talk about things I’ve been through; I can try for hours to get stuff to come out about my childhood but nothing ever does. So I’m hopeful this will help me!
