I often find that when I'm going through an EMDR hangover of a pretty strong foundational belief, different memories and more recent triggers start popping up in my head. And I don't understand why.

I get that hangovers mean you're processing the emotions of the target memory, but when other stuff comes up, does that mean we're processing the emotions of those too?

ie the focus being feelings of betrayal, and remembering other related memories both recent and from earlier in life. It wasn't the target memory I was working on, but those other memories are coming up in my thoughts and I'm feeling the "betrayal" from those other memories
