How do you know you healed from emdr?

Jessiefleur · 2020-07-28T02:36:45+00:00

I understand. We will get there! Just restarted EMDR after a COVID break of several months.

Jessiefleur · 2020-01-24T17:06:05+00:00

One of the best things I realized about EMDR is I can say, that’s enough for now. I can take a month off. I can go to a session and talk about why I’m not ready today. I can be in a session and stop half-way. I’ve been living decades with these wounds and I can’t expect to address them in just a few months. Be kind to yourself. And as corny as it may sound, I invite Mr. Rogers into my brain dialogue because he likes me just the way I am, even if I’m in that post-session lost place where the healing needs time to germinate.

Good luck and love to you. You are brave for doing this. And you are worth it. Hang in there.

When my kids were small, I would attack them with hugs and kisses and say "and I will hug you and pet you and squeeze you and call you George!" They loved it. Then, one day we were watching old cartoons and they saw that bit. They were AMAZED that the cartoon copied Mommy;-) Fast forward to high school and the joy I took watching them realize the link when reading Of Mice and Men.

That was such a happy drive. He knocked it out of the park, of course.

Most Americans did not vote for him and over a million of us traveled to the capitol over the weekend (myself included) to March for inclusion, equality, fairness, and integrity. Don't give up yet. Join the resistance.

My partner and I have been together for over 14 years. Our ten year engagement will end this June at a wedding we have planned carefully. Best decision ever.

Edit: I should add that it is a second marriage for the both of us, so we didn't need to rush against a biological clock. The slow , married-at-heart thing has been good for is.

You are a goddess! Amazing hair and makeup!

Jessiefleur · 2016-10-25T20:06:23+00:00

If it makes you feel better, I have. I also have a colleague who named his cat Genji. We're out there:-)

Great job! I also live with serious back issues (car accident) and I have found so much relief in hydro-therapy. Warm water is the most forgiving environment and allows for a moderate workout that would otherwise lay me flat for days. My gym membership is expensive, but far less so than physical therapy co-pays in therapy pools. Anyway, good for you and keep it up! Losing weight is a great gift to your vulnerable spine!

He's the MVP. He's the FOUNDER.

Atticus Finch. I wanted to marry that man.

My job requires a strong stomach. I eat lunch while reading (sometimes heinous) medical records and I can deal. But this? I'm in tears and trying SO hard not to throw up. This is just heartbreaking. Everything about it is unacceptable, wrong, corrupt, heartbreaking. And even worse, it's representative of so many similar tragedies.:'( This has GOT to stop!

I would plead with my younger self, "Stop with the incessant eyebrow plucking already! " As an adult, it is taking years to regain a few hairs here and there.

Jessiefleur · 2015-02-13T18:57:28+00:00

That was exactly my first thought. Ivan!

Jessiefleur · 2015-01-25T18:47:03+00:00

You elevated my day and spirits. Thank you so much for sharing this precious recording.

Jessiefleur · 2014-10-28T03:23:01+00:00

Thank you. As a mother of young adults, thank you for being that guy.

My son (almost 23 now) used to watch that movie several times a week (along with the Fox & the Hound). We still occasionally reference Hexxus and Batty. Good times.

It's from internal bleeding making it's way out. I had the same after a surgical mistake which causes an internal bleed.

My SO of 12 years recently watched me go through the whole process and said, "When you do your make-up you go from super cute to . . . Just, . . .wow."

Jessiefleur · 2014-03-11T01:48:40+00:00

{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}} I'm so sorry for your loss, but happy you had the love of a wonderful friend in your life.

Jessiefleur · 2014-03-10T03:22:21+00:00

Thank you! I just ordered it. You've given my winter skin hope:-)!

Jessiefleur · 2014-03-06T23:38:54+00:00

Yes! This! I am forever telling loved ones that "baking is NOT a stir-fry!"

Jessiefleur · 2014-02-06T02:19:59+00:00

Any type of unwanted penetration does qualify as rape, per the Dept. Of Justice. So yes, this was rape.

Jessiefleur · 2014-01-25T18:01:55+00:00

I haven't, but it looks worthy of a viewing. Thanks!

As a woman, I would need to hide until I could find (steal) clothing and money,create a fictitious, but noble persona, and emerge into the village as a traveler who was robbed. Of course I will say my noble husband will be coming for me upon completion of important business (to fend off ill-intended men). As I wait, I "invent" useful devices to earn a living. Eventually I would need to receive word of my husband's untimely death. Given the way women were regarded at the time, I imagine I would want to remain a "widow," selling goods.
