Friend: [EMDR] can be overwhelming when it pulls down amnesia walls you still need. [...]there is a chance of flooding with all kinds of new memories.[...]our T is very careful not to touch those walls and never dig deeper after more memory. its supposed to come up naturally.
Very helpful. Thanks.
We don't want to become overwhelmed or flooded. And the whole experience to us has too much potential to do so. We feel powerless enough already.
What helps us more is just talking about things that are coming up in the present. We're self-aware enough to know which core issues affect a given present-day situation. And we can connect the dots by talking it through.
Both our current T and our previous T have had Gestalt training. That's how they knew each other. Gestalt is something we've always been open to, as long as the T doesn't push for us to examine something that we're not ready for or don't understand yet.
