Thank you. I do believe mightily in intuition, however I know that sometimes what feels like intuition (for me) can actually be a reaction to a person (or therapist, as in this case) understanding me, being compassionate, even the very sensation of "safety" can be overwhelming and difficult to acclimate to. (I think articles have been written on this, so I may not be in the best of company, but at least I have company!) Resource development and parts have been discussed preliminarily. Right now I am concentrating on identifying which, and communicating with, the parts who are resistant to therapy (including emdr). Discussing those parts and communications with the therapist, as well as outlining trauma and losses, and their probable "linkages" (re: anticipating emdr work) are the stated goals of treatment right now. If you don't mind a couple more questions I'd really appreciate clarification on two more things: 1) It seems to me that if someone dissociative does emdr work eventually there will be point of some "integration". I am not talking about DID specifically here, but the general split between knowledge and affect. Does emdr processing naturally "unite" affect and knowledge? To specifically address DID, how to process an event if a client had, for instance, four different parts orginally present for an indicent of abuse? How do you contain and pace such processing? 2) How does fractionation play into the above? How do you eventually get a client to own their past, in an integrated way? Is there a protocol for this? Or does it just happen as part of successful processing? Thanks again, I apologize for being so verbose.
