kt & I went to our attachment therapist appointment this afternoon. kt was quite anxious, stressed & was running a mile a minute.
therapist asked me, on a scale of 1 to 10 anxiety wise, where would I place kt. Ummmmmm, 17.5 :rofl:
therapist used EMDR this afternoon while working with kt on self calming ideas. He used the EMDR machine the entire hour of therapy. I watched her slowly calm; listened to kt open up & share different ideas - even opened up about some of her dissociative episodes.
At one point, therapist got out another EMDR machine & placed me on it because listening to kt share some of this stuff was agitating for me.
Having said that, kt leveled out to around 4 on our "anxiety scale" by the time we left the office.
therapist decided that we'll be using EMDR for the next several appointments & watch reaction there in the office & the aftermath at home.
I must say kt is a great deal calmer this evening. :smile:
