Please Introduce Yourself Here / New member - EMDR
July 08, 2019, 08:51:08 AM
Hello,

Please call me J. I'm 45 and only recently found out that I have CPTSD. It's a bit of relief to finally know the name of the demon. It's also a small relief to finally be able to make sense of the myriad of other health issues that can all be linked back to CPTSD.

With that said, it's a brief respite.

Mostly emotional and verbal trauma that has been festering and entrenching itself for 40+ years.

Recently had my 3rd EMDR session and it's quite painful. I've seen an uptick in my emotional flashbacks and I literally cry every single day. Just suddenly overwhelmed with grief. I don't quite understand all of this but from what I've gathered so far, it's part of the process. Going to be painful first before it gets better.

I did experience my first positive "re-association" of a recent traumatic event. It's a step in the right direction and I'm thankful for that.

Still overwhelmed by the techniques that I'm learning to try to break the episodes and all of the information to consume.

Thanks for listening.

J
