...in relation to EMDR....

I first want to clear up the misunderstanding you gained about the core split issue. I understand your confusion. But I do not seek a state of bliss or garden of eden unity.

Since the integration I have experienced my first true state of rage, which I had always thought was the same as intense anger. It is not. Before the integration I had an alter that contained the rage and directed it inward. I do not have that anymore. But I still have the rage.

And it is split off, still. And it is a hard-edged split, meaning there is no bleed through of other emotional states that could ameliorate it - no communication of other truths. And this is what I was refering to as a "core split." And I was refering to this as a core split because it is so primitive and so early that I do not think this was a trauma split.

And rage is not something that has been traditionally easy to treat using the tried and true methods of therapy, so I am interested in working with EMDR to see if this can be healed utilizing EMDR to facilitate that healing.

I certainly do not want to stop in this place on this journey. Rage is not an appropriate response in an adult. And this state is too hard to get out of once I am in it. Rage is potentially very destructive to others and to the self both emotionally and socially.
