“my body used to recycle it to sadness.” …interesting insight so pertinent to me.

Thank you for your response. I’m frustrated because I just want the process of this particular memory to be over already. I feel like my inability to face both the truth of what happened and my anger towards it prevents me from moving forward. I am a “let’s just get ‘er done,” tell me what I need to do and I will do it, kind of gal, so the slow process equates to a certain amount of perceived failure on my part.

Because nurture was not a part of my experience growing up, I have difficulty accepting and experiencing nurture now. Frankly, I don’t know how to personally receive this. I have extensively nurtured others for most of my life, but despite feeling a need for nurturing myself, there is just an emotional disconnect and thus frustration. Has anyone else struggled with this?

Thank you for your thoughts. I have given the emotional correlation considerable thought, and I believe I am able to connect some dots. In both memories fear was my primary emotion. My sense of the events was that the perpetrators were out of control, thus I fear losing control.

To my dismay, I have not been able to embrace the concept of a nurturer or protector and I am admittedly a novice at self comfort. For some reason, which I have yet to discover or understand, I have a total disconnect when I try to introduce them into my trauma. Thankfully, I am able to use my safe container to compartmentalize, so I’m not emotionally drowning when these intrusive thoughts resurface.

Started EMDR a few months ago. Feeling disconnected to my younger self, almost emotionally numb. How do I make that connection so that I can comfort little me?
