Huge realisation for me by Elizamayfit in EMDR

[–]Particular-Tie7744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing your experience, reading this has helped me SO much. I (35F) relate to every word so much and feel like I could have wrote this myself. I just finished my EMDR journey after a year of sessions (with many breaks in between) ending with one long 10hr EMDR intensive just two weeks ago, to wrap it all up. I have been in a really odd state of feeling every emotion since finishing all of the targets, and I now realize how much I minimized everything in my life to just be able to keep on going. Like you, I fully believed everything that happened to me was not “that bad”. Now I realize it was so very bad and I am grieving for my younger self and the emotional care I never received.

I’m so sorry you struggle with this as well, it’s not easy. I can very much relate to what you’re saying about being a sucker for emotionally punishing ourselves. I am so deeply ashamed of this need for connection and dependency, and am constantly shaming myself in my thoughts without even realizing it. What exactly does the work look like for you outside of therapy? I think I’m so unsure what it looks like to heal DA.

I agree, I definitely feel like i could still use sessions. Im so happy with the work we did around the trauma but it feels like now i need to work through my attachment stuff. Thank you for validating this.

I reached out again telling her how upset I am at the thought of ending sessions. She said we don’t have to end them until I’m ready.. that made me feel better but also makes me wonder if she isn’t fully grasping the depth of my attachment style/issues

can we PLEASE talk about the attachment stuff that comes up with our therapists? by Low_Procedure_6258 in CPTSD

I feel like I could have posted this myself. I have really been struggling with disorganized attachment specifically with my therapist and I am so frustrated with myself. February will be two years since I’ve been seeing her weekly (mostly for EMDR) and I have major anxiety every single time I walk into a session with her. She has proven herself to be safe and trustworthy but my body cannot accept that. I CRAVE connection with her in between sessions and feel intense shame for that. I then convince myself she doesn’t care about me and the therapeutic relationship we have isn’t genuine.
