During EMDR Therapy, trauma reprocessing can evoke various thoughts, emotions, memories, and physical sensations. While the journey of trauma recovery is unique for everyone, here are some common experiences you may go through in EMDR:
💡 Insights: Moments of clarity or understanding about past experiences often emerge. These insights can shift your perspective and foster healing.
🕊️ Relief: Amidst the emotional work, moments of relief and lightness can surface, offering glimpses of the peace that comes with processing and healing.
🧠 Memories: EMDR can bring forgotten or suppressed memories to the forefront. While this can be surprising, it's a step in understanding and healing from past experiences.
🌊 Tears: Crying during or after a session is common. It's a powerful release of pent-up emotions, a sign that you're working through and processing deep-seated feelings.
💤 Fatigue: The intensity of focusing on and processing emotional experiences can lead to feelings of tiredness. Be sure to rest; it's your body's way of healing.
🤝 Connection: You might find yourself feeling more open and connected to others. Healing can enhance empathy and deepen relationships.
Remember, each reaction is a unique part of your healing journey. It's okay to feel what you're feeling, and we're here to support you through the process. You've got this.
