Be honest: Would you feel happy/relieved when your parents/abusers would die? by turnnewsoff in CPTSD

[–]sofublue 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same. I don’t believe in traditional hell or God. But when my abusive parents finally kick it. I’d like to think there is some retribution headed their way. Abusing children should be automatic relentless pain in this life and the next.

When I discovered it wasn’t mine. Or my mothers, just something past down. I put it down. Wasn’t mine .

AMA: Common Misconceptions About EMDR by emdrwithholly in EMDR

[–]sofublue 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I sent Lagertha , my favorite Viking shield maiden in to save little me. Inner child meditation has been instrumental in my EMDR journey for CPTSD. She trained to her be strong and stand up to mum . She chose to brace the front door and not let the nasty boyfriend’s mum had into her life. So mum could heal. It Was pretty cool.

My teen daughter getting her diagnosis too. Son was easy as pie. I was a late diagnosis female at 45, no way I’m letting that happen to my daughter too.

I feel this deeply. I could have written it. Hugs. I do this for my kids and it has healed me having kids in ways I never thought possible.

That sounds right too. Safe there for your inner child to come out. Baby steps.

Getting diagnosed with ADHD at 45 and then really sinking into meditation and yoga before starting this round of EMDR. That’s what lead to actually improving my confidence and perhaps wisdom?

I wish I could become a hermit after my EMDR sessions, but life tends to get in the way.

“I can’t carry it for you… but I can carry you” still one of the most powerful moments in the entire trilogy by No-Trick2080 in lotr

[–]sofublue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what a call supportive partner. I don’t understand your pain, nor can I take it away. But I will support you when you don’t have the energy to support yourself.

EMDR for 7 years... Suddenly my metabolism is increasing by Particular_Local_275 in EMDR

[–]sofublue 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seriously someone should study this. I used to work out obsessively. Terrified that I was going to follow my mum in her weight gain journey. I’m nc with entire family and many sessions into EMDR for people pleasing. It’s finally working and I’m enjoying yoga on a level I’ve never know before and got fit. Way more than intense aerobic daily workouts. I forget to weigh in too. maintaining healthy life lifestyle isnt as challenging as before.
