Hey folks.
After posting here a few months ago, I thought I’d give a bit of an update.
I shared a lot of my experience back when I was at a very low point. Everything kept catching up to me, and boy was I feeling hopeless and defeated. And rightfully so. Honestly, I’m a bit in awe of how well I’ve managed. And the whole time, thought I was a mess.
After finally reaching the processing stage in EMDR therapy, I’ve felt a huge difference after just 3 sessions.
It took many months of working with my current therapist to reach this point.
After actually processing a core trauma and the subsequent self limiting beliefs, I’m the most consistently calm I’ve been, pretty much ever.
I’m not dissociating anymore, and actually remember a lot of my life now. I don’t even think in black and white anymore.
I could go on, but honestly, it’s been such a long and perilous journey and I’m overwhelmed by how much I’ve overcome in a short time. Just thought I’d share. It’s just a lot to realise! Thanks for reading

Hi @Elusive_fairy I am so glad that you are making progress. It feels amazing when you realise you have finally found a way to deal with past issues and to move forward.
Can you please explain what EMDR therapy is?
Kindest regards
