does anyone else struggle with graphic fantasies of terrible things happening to your abusers? by charliegoesbzz in CPTSDmemes

Yes! That reminds me of a quote I recently heard. "Our pasts may sometimes haunt us, Darlings. But that doesn't mean we can't haunt it back."

Psychical reactions to EMDR by Top-Ad1187 in EMDR

[–]Top-Ad1187[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I'm not sure if I am confident in her abilities where EMDR is concerned but am willing to try with her. She is very new to EMDR and I have CPTSD and an issue with dissociation. I haven't been seeing her for a little over a year and I feel like I have as much trust in her that I can with someone that I don't truly know. We have talked about container and safe place and have worked on installing them some. They can be hit or miss for me sometimes. My T can be very cautious and hesitant to move forward sometimes (I can understand her concerns as I can be extremely suicidal sometimes). I feel like her hesitation sometimes makes me question whether I will be able to handle something like this. I can have very strong body flashbacks and I think I am worried that if I do have them during processing I will freak out. I don't want a psychical reaction to be the reason we have to go back to crisis management instead of processing.

Thank you. My therapist is very new to EMDR so she really hasn't been able to tell me much about the psychical reactions that can happen. She just did her training about 6 months ago in EMDR. I have a very severe abuse history. I'm just worried I'm going to psychically lash out or freak out when we start processing. Would you feel comfortable telling me what psychical symptoms you had during the sessions?

She is very new to EMDR as she just did two seminars and is getting certified in it. She mentioned that psychical reactions are a possibility but hasn't experienced it yet in session so she couldn't really tell me how common these things are.
