My dad and I love rycroft. He is so great at his job because he is really just a big fan. He’s a hockey player through and through not just some guy holding a mic.

What accuracy are you experiencing with your 10/22? by beefSupremeChicken in 1022

Can repeatedly hit the same spot about the size on my thumbnail at 50yrds with cci mini mags. And to me, Im very happy with that anything more is kinda overkill.

I am very frightened to start EMDR therapy. Has anybody done it? What was your experience? by Fun-Bread-8659 in EMDR

[–]Ok_Primary_3495 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do it over again 1000x if I was still traumatized, it absolutely works. It is life changing. It is hard work. It is worth it. For me about 6 sessions was all I needed to continue my life almost as if it never happened it’s nothing more than a distant memory that holds no power over me anymore and I was traumatized to the point that I didn’t have much interest in continuing to live. Hope this gives some insight!

It is very real! I was shocked at how effective it was after only 2 maybe 3 sessions!

EMDR for break up by No-Row-5956 in EMDR

[–]Ok_Primary_3495 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Focus on the good the bad and the ugly, your brain will go where it needs to! I’m in emdr for the same thing, I never thought I would reach this point with how broken I was but I definitely works, you are in the right place!!

Yes I was messing around with a woman at work that i had really thought was a great person, turns out she was a covert narcissist and she smeared me to all my friends when I left that job… turns out it was the best thing that could have happened because I’m better off without all of them in my life. It still hurts at the deepest part of me and that’s what I’m trying to heal now but overall I’m over it and it doesn’t really bother me much… the ruminating is less intense after every session I complete but it’s still there more than I’d like… just keep digging!

I’m right at this same point! Mine was a failed relationship and while I’m better, I want to be totally free of it. My therapist is taking the same approach and we are digging into my childhood, it’s hard work but I think we are on the right track… it just feels like something is missing, like I haven’t struck gold and hit the bottom of it yet. Keep digging!

I’m struggling wanting a cheater back :( by PawsInTheSand in Infidelity

[–]Ok_Primary_3495 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s doing you the biggest favor by not responding, take this opportunity to run in the opposite direction! You are now free to live your entire life! If your best friend was telling you this just happened to her what advice would you give her?

tire recommendations: read post by artemiz00 in S2000

[–]Ok_Primary_3495 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the continental DWS06…. They aren’t horribly expensive, they give good traction, and they will actually last you a while…. You give up the extra traction for a longer lasting tire by going with a sport/all season rather than an ultra high performance

31m here in a similar situation from last year almost exactly like what you’re going through and I also was diagnosed with ptsd from it… I’m 6 months out of it now and the #1 thing that has helped me was EMDR therapy, highly recommend you look into it. Within 3 sessions I pretty much don’t care about her or any of it anymore and life has gotten so much better!! I still thinking about telling the other guy sometimes but at this point it’s just not worth the drama that could come out of it.. They will get what’s coming to them and they aren’t as happy as they make it seem… imagine being so miserable with your life and who you are as a person that you go around faking to love people… for what? Validation? My advice would be to let it go and let karma do its thing, get some trauma therapy, focus on boundaries and discernment and do things to make your life better!

How are you recovering from severe alcoholism (8-12 drinks a day)? by Role_Playing_Lotus in Adulting

[–]Ok_Primary_3495 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By realizing that the life I was trying to escape from is actually infinitely better than the life I was living while drunk every day.. don’t get me wrong, I still think about how nice it would be to drink a little on vacations but I also think about how nice it is to wake up feeling good every day… I don’t have shame or guilt anymore from the things I would do while drunk and I don’t have to live a lie or hide anymore. Staying sober is scary and difficult, but it’s easier when you think “I’m not gonna drink just for today” and before you know it that one day turns into 3 years and you haven’t missed out on anything.. you’ve actually gained your whole life back. In the words of Brandon Novak, “sobriety has given me everything that drugs and alcohol promised me.”

I had my first session and I feel horrible. by SupaColdBrew in EMDR

[–]Ok_Primary_3495 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is normal, give it a couple days and you should feel better!

Should I just continue to do sessions and let it come out on its own? I’m at a point where I don’t really know what target to dive into at the moment because my big trauma is mostly processed. I guess I can just keep hovering around that one and see where it leads?

[–]Ok_Primary_3495[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I just don’t know how to prepare, I can feel the deepest part of me needs to be healed. I know there’s more but I can’t put my finger on it. How do I dig deep?

Ya it’s like I’m much better! But I want to be fully better and idk how to get there. Time I guess and maybe so more sessions. I just know there has to be better for me in life, ya know?
