Re:emdr and learned lies

Thanks Sandra, obviously some part of me still has an issue with the "nickname". After I posted I realized I must have some belief with that name, I just don't know what it is. Perhaps doing EMDR will help me clarify what belief I am attaching to it etc.

I will be talking with my therapist about it, thinking that is where I will want to go next session.

Another question - after my last EMDR session I realized that this wonderful little child state just loves doing EMDR because she loves the feel of holding the vibrating buttons in her hands, the musical/dancing part of her just loves that. At some point during the session, when therapist stopped the bilateral stimulation, I became angry and demanded he turn the vibrations back on. Later I realized that it was coming from this little child state who just loves the feel of those vibrating buttons!!!

Is there a risk that this ego state can derail sessions? I was really angry about the stimulation being stopped - that little kid state sure wanted that fun musical/dance feel. Is there a potential problem here? (I found it funny later when I realized what had happened during that session, but I am wondering if this child state can interfere)
