Me and my therapist have been laying out the ground work to have a plan for EMDR therapy that I am doing as well. I was doing EMDR with an awesome therapist before but I could no longer afford to pay out of pocket and I was seeing her every week, and going to someone else for medication management. I was doing great and when I had to stop seeing her it was like I was dropped off in the middle of nowhere. Confused, no direction, and bummed out that again I was defeated.

I don’t expect instant success and I’m well aware that this is going to be a long journey. I have done group therapy in the past and though I feel that’s a longer and more painful process, I did like not feeling alone, and knowing that there are others struggling in very Similar ways as me. I’m 35 and say stuff like who in the world is doing, saying, and acting like me and the truth was astonishing the youngest being 15 and up to around 80 years old. The downside for me was I’ve never lacked compassion for others suffering, and I found myself getting stuck on wanting to help others, the therapists and the patients loved hearing me speak because I would speak from my heart and soul. I just can’t seem to do the same for myself yet. Nevertheless it was a great experience.

Just out of curiosity you seem to have a good grasp on details, and process. Are you in the profession or have you been through therapy as well. Completely fine if this is unanswered.

Thanks again, Ryan
