Nightmares/EMDR
Just Me · 08/23/03 at 10:53 PM ET
I am currently going through EMDR therapy for a few different traumatic events in my life. What i am finding is that once I have processed one event, the feelings of the other events have intensified dramatically. Things that I had tried to hide and put away for so long. I am beginning to have constant nightmares at night, and relive some of the other events as if they were real and happening again. I wake up shaking and suffocating and the feeling of being completly terrifed as I felt when the incidents occured. Is this something that can be expected while doing EMDR? Is there a way that I can somehow "turn them off" while away from my therapists office? I expected that when I decided to finally face these things that it would be hard to do, but it has become much harder than I thought.
