Had therapy last night and my t and I did some EMDR about my past molestations and rape. I was ok before I went into the session-then bam-she had me sobbing. I have never been able to go "through" this stuff, and was watching late night Oprah the other night on Intervention (A&E) about how sexual abuse has nothing to do with the act-but the shame and guilt that follow you throughout your life. Does anyone else have a take on this? I never had a problem with sex, but I have probems with the above mentioned and a lot of other stuff, which I don't know is related to this.
Today was scary, I had to call my t and tell her I didnt feel right and quite sad, and ate next to nothing all day.
Doers anyone know if this is normal, and how do I approach the session tomorrow about yesterday?

Hello Cyster!!

Wow...I just had my first two EMDR sessions last week. They were powerful. I am trying to get over some of the same things you are. I can't tell you how you're supposed to feel, but I can tell you I was totally wiped and kind of depressed for a few days after the sessions.

I feel like I am making some progess because I remembered things I had forgotten and I think I am working through them. Hard to say for sure.

I just wanted to write and let you know that if you need to vent, or talk with me, I'm here for you.

Good luck,
Sillie
