I have yet to introduce myself but I want to say that I really appreciate reading the interaction on this site. Trauma therapy is an arduous and lonely process and I need the support right now more than ever. I have used EMDR with my T on a few occasions and found it amazing. I prefer she tap on my knees with my eyes closed than to follow her finger with my eyes open; the visual technique is too distracting for me. I would like to try an auditory option but have not addressed that with her yet. The first two times I tried it, nothing happened. T said I was dissociating. Years later, we tried it with a memory fragment and though it did not uncover further visual memories, the body remembers and it told me there is most likely some trauma hidden behind the sliver of memory that I do have. Fear has kept me from additional EMDR sessions, but I plan to return to it when I feel stronger. I think I am afraid to uncover new material in an EMDR session then run out of time to absorb it with my T.
