Resource Installation

My question is regarding "Resource Installation". I have been in therapy for several years and have undergone EMDR many times. I'm not sure I understand "Resource Installation" nor am I certain if I've undergone such treatment. However, I do believe my therapist has stated that I have but I guess I didn't realize it was "Resource Installation" at that time.

Anyhow, to my question. During my last session, a part of me, while do eye movements, started to "fantasize" and imagined getting physically larger and emotionally stronger. Well, according to my therapist, this was a part evidently doing her own "Resource Installation" which she acquired from a previous session--or at least that is my understanding. Well, since then, many inside seem to have also fantasized practically the same thing. Others have been becoming stronger and "speaking" their minds, but it's all inside, not real.

I guess I'm just wondering is this usual? Is it "Resource Installation" or just fantasy? Just curious about what seems to be occurring inside.

Appreciate your time.
