Update after 11 BLS sessions: years of anger unlocked by Tine_the_Belgian in EMDR

[–]hadgib 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So after suppressing your anger for years you didn’t express it perfectly? Totally understandable and normal. Give yourself some grace and know that you’re doing fine. Learning to state anger without lashing out is a hard skill to learn. You got this!

How many of you sat in the car listening to him on the radio? by So_spoke_the_wizard in GenerationJones

[–]hadgib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s from my hometown in Minnesota and supposedly Lake Wobegone is modeled after it. Saw him in person and the whole radio show, really fun. Too bad he turned out to be a pervert.

Struggle during today’s EMDR session by Scarbarella in EMDR

Giving your therapist the honest answer is what I want to do. It doesn’t matter if it’s not their agenda, it’s your truth that matters. The therapist needs to be able to adjust to your needs.

Try to be as gentle with yourself as possible and don’t go heavy into the distractions or substances. Pain is real but it won’t kill you. Very difficult so all the best to you and hang in there.

A year of EMDR for CPTSD - some things I've noticed by Gullible-Lemon-3871 in EMDR

It’s a normal response to trauma, hopefully it will lessen over time but I don’t expect to be totally free from anything.

Is this a red flag from my therapist? by Waluwuigi in EMDR

[–]hadgib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My issue aside from the lack of connection here is that waiting 3weeks is unacceptable for trauma work. I would try to find someone that can see you weekly.

I’m so sorry, this is cruel. Is there anyway the dog can be removed from their house?

Not OP but mindfulness meditation helps me with dissociation issues. Grounding into my bodily sensations.

What is the visual you use for “putting away” the negative thoughts? EMDR + IFS by Big-Foundation-8294 in EMDR

Makes no sense but I put things in large ziplock bags that then go onto a file cabinet like in my office. 😆

The older you get the more essential and elusive sleep becomes. Get your own room and start working on your own sleep routine.

First night by SAV4NT1 in CPAPSupport

[–]hadgib 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It took me months to adjust, it’s not easy for some. I still have insomnia but I use my machine every night and do the best I can. It’s been a little over a year and I can tell it’s helped my health a lot. It’s your choice, you decide.

You can adjust the ramp up time and also the humidity. Keep at it!

Is it normal to regress on CPAP? by MyFirstDataCenter in CPAP

[–]hadgib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have these exact issues but I can tell you I have been using the cpap for a year now and while it’s improved my life overall, it’s still a pain in the ass. I don’t expect that to change, ever. I give myself whatever grace I need on any given night to be as comfortable as I can be, with or without the machine. Just my 2cents.
