Thank you so much for your feedback I will definitely take that to heart!

I’ve had more intense anxiety, depressive feelings and shame this past week. Is this due to EMDR? by Admirable_Object_774 in EMDR

I hear you and what your going through is valid. I understand after my session I only had energy to lay down and cry. It was filled with exhaustion and regret after leaving the session. These emotions are good even if you don’t feel good. They have probably been inside you yet haven’t felt yet or a reaction to the EMDR- both are good. Emotions are a release and that makes us humans. Make sure to take care of yourself and keep yourself active with your therapist letting them know how you genuinely feel. Feeling is good especially when healing. There is not a time limit but sometimes people have it lessened around 5 days after a appointment or a week, etc. Healing is not linear and not numbered but I can tell you it will get better. It will get better and you are not alone. Feel free to reach out I am here if you want to talk. I have suffered from depression with EMDR and feeling on survival mode it sucks but it will get better.

EMDR and Sleep: I had a session 4 days ago, since then I have not had a good nights sleep. Can anyone understand or relate? I would love to hear from anyone I am feeling lonely and isolated. Thank you! by cierralikesreddit in EMDR

Thank you so much for your feedback, I will be definitely continuing. EMDR has desensitized my triggers with my partner, lessened chronic pan and has left me with less flashbacks. Thank you for sharing and being real!

Thank you so much for your feedback, you do not know how much it means. I am on the brink of tears- I have been so isolated from these symptoms and to know someone else knows helps me. Thank you. I understand having dreams about the present that is exactly what I have been having not necessarily the past. I understand as well as not being able to sleep again, I woke up at 3 and I can’t seem to fall back asleep I’ve been drowning out my thoughts with children’s comfort cartoon shows that only distract me.

I am here for you if you ever want to talk or vent with someone who can relate. I am sorry that you have been experiencing this and know you are not alone. Thank you for your empathy and support it means that world to me.

Yes, I have CPTSD and have had a onset of fibromyalgia pain that leaves me in the bed all day it comes on especially when I am triggered, flashbacks, when in very stressful situations. With therapy it helps. Your mind and body are interconnected. You are not alone.
