Exposure therapy & EDMR

[Elizabeth CP]

I have been referred to someone to have exposure therapy & EDMR for PTSD. I am wondering if others have experience of this and what t is like.

Thanks everyone for your replys & encouragement I am currently feeling stressed with so many things on my plate so I can't think straight to give a proper reply

Hi Elizabeth,

I am sure many people here understand having a lot on their plates.

Can you find just one thing to tackle today then see if you have the energy and mind to tackle something else?

When I look at everything at once, it can seem so overwhelming!

Wishing you the chance to work through one issue today.

All the best from Dools

Thanks Dools,

I have anoter session on Tuesday. I'm worried because I'm so stressed I don't know ho I'll ccope with the session but it will be a waste of time talkng about all the other things which are stressing me

Hi Elizabeth,

I really am so sorry to read just how stressed you are at present. I hate feeling like that. Yesterday I decided to try and do some weeding, just looking at the weeds in one small patch of the 2 1/2 acres that I try to keep tidy made me feel overwhelmed. I sat down and cried!

Can you make time between now and Tuesday to just write down everything you are feeling. Write and let the tears flow if they come until you have nothing else to write.

It can be exhausting. I do find it to be a kind of therapy and might even do the same myself later!

I wish you well for Tuesday!

I hope you find ways to get through your day, each moment at a time if that helps.

Sending you kind thoughts, from Dools
