Hey there @Snowie 🌺🙂💜
No worries - happy to chat wherever you feel most comfortable 🙂
It’s a pleasure Snowie - more than happy to chat about EMDR, and I’m glad it’s helpful 🌺
Thanks so much regarding this new psychologist; within a few minutes of listening to her, I could tell she has her own lived experiences, is invested in what she does, and has no ego in what she does 🙂
she’s probably a bit older than me, and is such a caring person. In a way I feel like she’s a really good fit because she’s ever so caring, and I’m actually quite world-hardened from life and living around the world in some difficult places at times. If I’m working with people that aren’t openly kind and compassionate, I tend to remain like a bit of a fortress, emotionally, since that’s what I’m used to.. 🌺
anyway, 🙂 I wanted to say thanks so much - I genuinely appreciate your words regarding trust and taking that leap of faith… that is something I’ve worked on to cultivate, giving trust to people. I have come to the gentle conclusion that there’s no need to compromise my own ways of wanting to live, which one thing I want to do is be able to trust people, and I want to do that by balancing the risk of doing so with the rewards that could be gained by giving trust. I do it because I don’t want to let anyone hold me down anymore, in terms of how I choose to live my life - being free to trust, despite what life has taught me…no more control of my heart or head 🙂🌺💜 the only thing I try of do is choose wisely, who I trust, and who I should maintain a boundary with 🙂
I hope that makes sense..? 🌺
Sounds like your psychologist is really aware of picking up on how you feel through non-verbal cues.. that sounds good and helpful, in terms of meeting you where you’re at, when you see her 🌺
I can relate to finding it very hard where to start when discussing trauma.. I always worry about what I should say, and how people will react, and if I don’t start at the way back beginning, things can sometimes sounds really confusing and not make sense, because much of the trauma is interconnected through time and space. It’s not easy getting help - a trauma story doesn’t seem to exist in isolation, so that makes explaining things a very difficult task logistically, let alone the emotional strength it takes to bring this stuff to the fore and put ducks in rows, I tend to think 💜🌺
more than happy to chat about EMDR after the next appointment, if you’d like that?
i hope you are doing ok this arvo, and your evening goes well 🤗🌺💜
