Thank you. I really appreciated your comment, and I agree with you.
I’m in much the same boat. Perhaps not so practiced in wielding the tools or so ingrained in reaching for them, but… trying. It’s reassuring to see and hear from folks who share their stories.
Currently in the beginning phases of EMDR therapy, and trying to get to that point where the harms of the past hold less power. The outward manifestation toward others tends to be fairly pro-social, but I’m still struggling with the inner thoughts a lot. Hoping with effort and practice that changes.
You're very welcome, and I'm glad it was helpful. I've heard such great things about EMDR! I hope it's helpful for you. I was in therapy working my way up to it for a while, but my therapist never came back from maternity leave and wasn't able to refer me. She was awesome, though, and I'm sure I'll be able to pick back up where I left off.
Try to be kind to yourself. You're clearly doing the work, so I hope you reap all the rewards.
