One foot on the brake

Hi,

I am one of those clients with a very heavy brake foot. I left EMDR and therapy all together two years ago following some successes, but with an extreme feeling of coming up against something I couldn't handle. The two years since, I have continued to do my best at understanding and accepting. But I still occassionally have flashbacks preceeded by weeks of prepatory working through of stuff. I feel a need to return to therapy and EMDR, but the EMDR is terrifying me.

I guess my question is how to go about lifting that foot off the brakes enough to do any EMDR.

PS I haven't contacted my previous therapist yet, I still don't know where I want to go with that, whether to try to reinitiate therapy with her or to seek someone more comfortable and knowledgeable with dissociative issues.

Any words would help.

Thanks.
