Thank you for sharing. I, too, have noticed a pattern of utter exhaustion for three days, followed by a renewed sense of well-being. For three nights following EMDR, I will have restless fitful sleep with lots of dreams. After that, my sleep will be deep and fulfilling. During the crisis period, things are harder to cope with. The old patterns seem really strong. After the three days, I feel able to handle things better and relate in different ways. My therapist says that many people react for three days, though my reaction is so strong, she's going to limit me to about 15 minutes of EMDR per session. Diane
