    @asparkofcourage i read both of your emdr blog entries. i think it's helpful for me since i'm trying to find an available and suitable emdr practitioner to begin this process. i think these entries are a good example of how a session can unfold and also insightful about how our minds work.

     

    I really didn't expect my mind to link so many events together! It's pretty fascinating.  Good luck on your journey!

    Oh noo, that car ride must've been awful, I can only Imagine trying to be In control of a situation and them still finding a way to put you on edge (purposefully or not, It's still a dreadful experience). Im sorry this happened to you, truly.

    Setting bounderies when they're so close to you Is a big challenge too...I've tried It and In the end realized I still needed my distance and time alone. Hope you're taking care and things work out for the better ⭐

     

    Thank you for your words.  Hopefully I can avoid those kinds of situations until I'm further in my healing.  Distance always helps me too.

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I'm mostly through the book, but I find I have to read it in spurts because some of the stories told are upsetting to me. 

    I really liked how the author understood trauma and PTSD. It did help me understand more of what I feel and how to recognize triggers.

    Yeah it gets kinda technical at times which I think helps distance from the emotions of the example stories.  Reread parts you are more comfortable with until you are ready to move on or just think of it as you being in a class learning about science to help create a bit of a buffer.  That's what I do.

    I am going to have to check out this book it sounds interesting and has some helpful information. Thank you for this post, I know it's not easy being put in your situation and you are so brave. I can speak from experience that EMDR at least if you really allow yourself to fall into your past, can be really scary, I am currently in the process of it but it takes multiple sessions. I will have to update you on how it goes. 

    Its worth a read.  I'm doing EMDR now.  Just easy stuff before we jump into the more difficult stuff.  

    Please let me know any updates if you are able.  I hope you continue to heal!

    Wow! You are so so brave.  And this could have been written by my perp brother.  It's incredible same kind of language.  I don't have a letter.  He has told people I am crazy, a liar, forgetful, inventive, dream things up.  Inspire people but really it is manipulation.  All these perps have the same sickness.  Then they mix religion into everything.  No you don't have to ask for forgivness in heaven.  It is before you die.  Actually the person has to repent and then receive the forgivness offered.  And that doesn't make us forgive the person.  So true ask for forgivness twice.  And to all the people affected.  It makes me mad.  I am so happy you have support and are on the path of healing.  You are amazing asparkofcourage.  You are doing really great even if it doesn't feel like it.  I remember to start with I was just so scared for so long and thought I would never smile again.  I did and the world is before me just like it is for you.  I think life does take care of these cowards.  That is what they are.  Not brave at all. Sorry for all the bla bla.  Hope it doesn't upset you.  Be gentle with you.  A

    Thank you for your words.  It's nice to know I'm not alone.  My abuse has ruined religion for me.  So now that I don't believe in any after life, it frees me to tell people.  He needs to be punished in this lifetime.  I know I'm very lucky to have this letter.  I hope your abusers inaccurate accusations don't keep you from seeking justice and happiness.  No need to apologize.  No worries.
