I'm going to be starting Emdr soon

3. Thank you! That was helpful and very comforting.

I have seen other posts, by you, on PTSD forums while i was looking for info about what to expect. I really appreciate you taking the time to write all of this here. The information about control, and tricks to help lower the intensity are things i did not know and help relax some of of the stress of waiting and wondering.

My background trauma is not limited to one area or another and i worried that it might be too much to try and tackle with this type of therapy. I also worry because i have been having a type of psychogenic seizure since my early teens and they are easily set off by trigger type stress. I have several instances a month and i'm stressed about them coming about during the EMDR.

I am very ready though. I have lived too long with too much of this littering up the place and i'm ready for even a little peace. I loved the word neutralize that my therapist used. I am more than ready to neutralize some of these memories and outdated feelings.
