Finally Starting
This is the month I'm finally going to start EMDR. This is a fun process that helps one process traumatic memories, allowing them to lead much more productive lives. I have put it off for 10 years and am feeling like an idiot for doing that. I have spoken to others about their experiences, and that convinced me that it is time.
Part of my too-long hesitation was the fear of reliving experiences. Those cause nightmares and flashbacks. After research I found that you don't have the extreme issues during reprocessing. Another fear is that of letting go. As odd as that sounds, those deep memories can sometimes bring comfort. However, they also bring pain, but I need to fully say goodbye. I haven't been functioning optimally for much too long.
Anyway, that's my update. I have a few things to finish, and it's getting late.
