EMDR seems so scary. How did y'all get over the fear around it?
Hi friends. I had therapy yesterday and my treatment plan was due for review, and discussing my goals, my therapist brought up that in my initial intake form, I stated that I wanted to work on processing my traumas. I know she does EMDR so I asked her a bit about it, and she kind of walked me through the concepts of belief burdens and such. I'm not normally someone who is very connected to how I feel sensations in my body but I noticed while we were talking about EMDR in yesterday's session, that it kinda felt like my heart was in my stomach, like a heavy feeling almost, and I was really scared thinking about having to actually confront my trauma because I'm someone who has spent most of their life avoiding actually doing that. Did anyone else experience this kind of really big fear when considering starting emdr? How did you move past it?
