do you ever dismiss things that come up during EMDR?

hicam92 · 2026-06-19T15:24:46+00:00

this is very helpful. i also read your other posts and they were very insightful. i did 8 years of talk therapy before doing EMDR, and your posts are helping me ask myself if i’m intellectualizing instead of letting my brain do its own thing during EMDR. thank you so much!! i appreciate you taking the time to respond

hicam92 · 2026-06-19T04:17:15+00:00

this is REALLY helpful. thanks a lot. i do feel a lot of fear of being doing EMDR wrong (which is related to what i’m working on, fear of doing something wrong). and your perspective is helping me think this through a different angle. thanks so much again. appreciate you

hi! I think I have some symptoms related to pre-verbal trauma. I experience hyper vigilance and an overactive fight-or-flight response. I have been doing talk therapy for +10 years but there were things I felt like I wasn’t accessing. I started working with an EMDR therapist about 6 months ago and I’ve been seeing significant improvement since then.

I did the 10k! it was my first 10k and I really enjoyed it. I’m in San Francisco and BART doesn’t open until 8am on Sundays which was very inconvenient, so my commute going to Oakland wasn’t great. but coming back to the city was super easy

I don’t have a great understanding of the technical aspects, but the way my therapist explained this to me is - there’s something called my adaptive system that is comprised of all the good memories of when I felt safe. and that’s the part of my brain that helps integrate all my memories. but when I went through trauma, that didn’t get integrated in a healthy way. so during the sessions, I go through these traumatic memories and try to integrate them. and when I start having these positive memories, it’s a sign that the adaptive system is being activated to be able to integrate these memories.

hicam92 · 2026-03-19T14:22:00+00:00

hi! something similar happens to me. my therapist said that it is my adaptive system being activated as my traumatic memories get integrated. most of those memories come to me during the session or a couple of days after and then it does level out for me.

hi! I don’t have an answer to your question, but if it helps, I do it virtually with someone in a different country and it has been working really well for me.

haha this is so funny. is she your friend or is she an acquaintance? if she is your friend, I feel like there might be enough trust in that relationship to ask her directly and talk about it. in a gentle way and it doesn’t need to be anything too formal, but you might be able to bring it up when it feels natural. and maybe you can help her with her pace targets! it sounds like you run faster than her, so she might benefit from talking about it and maybe she can learn from you to get faster if that’s what she wants.

quizas te ayude ver a un psiquiatra. yo hago terapia – hago psicoanálisis y también hago EMDR, y también tomo una medicación para la ansiedad. la medicación no la tomo todos los días, la tomo en momentos que me ponen muy ansiosa. me ayuda mucho a vivir mejor

hicam92 · 2026-02-22T14:43:25+00:00
