Re:Feelings with no memories

Could you define "extremely destabilizing"?

I'm dissociative and have done EMDR with two different therapists. It was so destabilizing with the first therapist (suicidality and self injury, etc) that I don't think I have a good sense of what an appropriate amount of fallout would be.

I did EMDR last Wed and have had a continuous stream of associations & flashbacks since then and am just feeling crummy. How does anyone judge what is destabilizing? I feel like a wimp for thinking of canceling this week's session. I'm not spinning out terribly, or not functioning, I'm just not feeling "right".

Any comments appreciated. Thanks.
