Doing EMDR must be the easiest sessions ever for a therapist. Just being like ‘what do you notice…i don’t want to know details…how do you feel, just notice that…go with that…notice that…notice that…notice that…notice that… go with that…go with that…notice that…go with that…then boom end of session - hundred quid please see you next time BYE!’

Thanks for retraumatising me. Thanks for making me feel more alone than I already do. Thanks for making me feel like you don’t care or want to listen to my trauma. Thanks for making me feel so invalid and not worth listening to. Thanks for making me feel like I can’t talk about my trauma. I’ve spent years in silence with no one to talk to. I finally trust you and want to share it with you, and you’re cutting me off and not letting me speak and not answering my questions and making me process stuff on my own in silence? I know you love EMDR, T, but I gotta be honest with you, it’s not working for me. I can’t tell you because I want to please you and I’m attached to you and I don’t want you to reject me for feeling this way or accuse me of not trying hard enough or not committing to it or not wanting to face the pain. But this isn’t working it’s not helping. This sucks for me, it’s tearing me apart inside and making me feel worse.
