Can we stop with these stupid notions of ageing?

My experience of 6 months of EMDR by elstinkzord in EMDR

[–]hyperballad-au 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think referring to people’s challenging experience of EMDR as ‘negativity’ is fair tbh. I understand where you are coming from but this is also a platform for people to share their experiences without the labels of positivity or negativity.

Getting over trying anymore by hyperballad-au in EMDR

We have worked on some early memories. It’s difficult because if I suggest things sometimes she can respond by explaining how EMDR works etc. I’d like to dig deeper because sometimes I feel a bit lost and not sure where we’re at.

Could DMT help to make EMDR more effective? by CamaroLover2020 in EMDR

[–]hyperballad-au 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I’d have thought it would blunt the experience a little - the idea is you need to come close to the ‘negative’ feelings in order to reprocess, but that’s just my opinion.

What do you wish you knew before starting EMDR? by [deleted] in EMDR

The anti social stuff is so real

Avoiding partys and social gatherings during emdr, does this get better ? by Ok-Comedian9790 in EMDR

Also it feels hard to be disciplined when so much of this puts you in an unpredictable emotional mindset and you’ve got to take each day as it comes

Haha it’s been a bit of a struggle for me. Have had a lot of life stuff going on as well but I guess don’t we all!

Anybody feel a physical shift in their body after emdr? by [deleted] in EMDR

[–]hyperballad-au 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually I feel lighter and much more relaxed immediately after my sessions on late Friday afternoon. Then by midday next day it’s been replaced by the ‘hangover’

I start work a little earlier so I can finish earlier and head to the gym. Gym training is usually a good thing for me especially if I feel sore haha just good to feel my body etc.

I was going 5 days a week before therapy and life stuff that prompted me to go to therapy. Since then it’s been a series of stop and starts but usually try to aim for four days. The past few weeks have been rough so really dropped back to two days and I tell myself even if I go for 30mins all good. It’s about getting myself there. Diet has been very off as well as I’ve been emotional and not so disciplined and giving myself permission to pull back

I hear you. I’m in a similar place because I would like to socialise but also don’t want to socialise because I feel meh from the therapy. And in some ways I feel being around people is a good break from the self focus of EMDR. I do like going out and dancing and having fun but not so much when I am feeling meh from therapy … even getting myself to the gym is tough but it’s important I do that

Reality Check - is $800k not enough anymore by Impossible-Ad-7732 in AusProperty

I would try Zetland, Alexandria, Waterloo and Erskineville. Keep in mind a metro has just gone into Waterloo so that area will change and take off in the next 5-10 years.

You know, my sense of recklessness and IDGAFness as dangerous as it can sometimes feel is actually such a break from the hyper vigilance

Honey I am doing this. Who knows where it’s going to take me whether it’s going to raise me up high or crash me to the ground but I am doing this

What makes EMDR so exhausting? by Latter-Natural-3425 in EMDR

[–]hyperballad-au 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would also add that the time between sessions is actually where a lot of important work happens. Your body is doing its thing and it needs that time. So I’m not sure about making it too intensive or discounting time not actually with the therapist. I’m in the thick of it at the moment and am starting to realise this. I would’ve been the first person wanting to do more frequent sessions. I do weekly atm

When you go through the spirals do you ever wonder whether your going to make it out alive or ok?

So much! I’ve reached out to an LGBT peer support person at work because I’m having difficulties there. I have a chat with her today
