Hi! Im new here, ive just started EMDR last month and before that had never even heard of it. Working on processing trauma from quite a few years ago.

I got stressed with the dots but finding that audio is more soothing. Today was the first session properly using the audio and working through a memory.

Its so intense and feels so unfamiliar, the feelings of fear, waves of panic and trying to regulate, then being soothed and then full ugly crying.

Looking for encouragement from someone who has been here, can relate, is maybe further along in the journey and could offer some encouragement. Its so hard to have this session once a week and then function to carry out a normal life in between sessions.

Thanks in advance
