[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 725597, member: 18284"] Susiestar, Sam3, Littleboylost -- Thank you all for you thoughtful and insightful replies. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I'm encouraged by all of your comments. The science behind it makes sense to me, too. Will keep you posted on my EMDR thoughts. I'm only 2 sessions in with EMDR, but, so far, it feels noticeably helpful. I'm encouraged, just wanting to remain in "wait and see" mode to see if it's permanent. So far, no backsliding. Just many more 911 episodes to work through. Feeling optimistic. EMDR is an interesting sensation so far. I always said our years of traumatic episodes felt like my brain was laying down new "tracks" (picture railroad tracks) of hyper-arousal -- not my brain's usual pathways beforehand. After my first EMDR, I had an interesting visual arise in my mind -- visions of small segments of railroad tracks detaching in bits and free-floating so I could dispose of them however I chose. I like that visual. For me, it always helps to have a visual. My best wishes are with you all during this holiday season. I have fun extended family plans (without our son -- it's just how it is) for Christmas day. Fortunately, our family members roll with our family scenario exceptionally well after all these years. Whatever's going on, I believe in trying to find and to express Gratitude (with a capital "G") wherever I can. Not always easy -- sometimes temporarily REALLY difficult. But it's snowing now, so we're Grateful to be looking forward to a white Christmas! May all of your Christmases unfold in whatever ways feel healthiest for you at this time. Sending a virtual hug your way. :) [/QUOTE]
