therapy going good. My therapist wants to do (EMDR) Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing with me. never heard of this before but the therapist said this will work for me because I am also have PSTD along with having OCD
th etherapsit will ask me to revisit the traumatic moment or incident, recalling feelings surrounding the experience, as well as any negative thoughts, feelings and memories. The therapist then holds her fingers about eighteen inches from my face and begins to move them back and forth like a windshield wiper. I will tracks the movements as if watching ping pong. The more intensely the I focuses on the memory, the easier it becomes for the memory to come to life. As quick and vibrant images arise during the therapy session, they are processed by the eye movements, resulting in painful feelings being exchanged for more peaceful, loving and resolved feelings.
I never heard of thisEMDR therapy before but I hope it works for me.
I have been touching more things I went to the museum and after that I sat at lake watching the water then all of sudden without thinking about my OCD I took off my shoes and socks never done that before and sat down on the ground it felt so good just to seat and relax watching the water.
Sunday went to a buddhist Temple for the first time for meditation I had to take off my shoes and socks didnt think about my OCD I did it. The class good I was able to relax my body I felt a calm and peaceful inside myself. then I went to another Museum I was happy and relax the whole day.
I am very proud of myself trying to tackle this OCD by myself. Gotta tell my therapist on monday
