Re:EMDR and the

Hey Mary,

While I dont do EMDR in therapy I do know what you are talking about. My therapist used to sit too far away, and was very distant in many of her reactions to me. Atleast in the way I experienced things.

It took me a while to get the courage to talk to her about it, and then quite some work after that to find new boundaries between us that we both felt good about.

Today she always sits closer to me, and that alone really helped. We also occassionally hold hands, or exchange a hug at the end of the session. Both these options feel really good as well. However, this took a lot of work for both of us to be comfortable with.

If you continue to feel your therapist is uncomfortable with the boundaries, or if you continue to feel uncomfortable with the boundaries I can only encourage you to continue to talk to her about it, until you both settle in to do it differently.
