Antigua,
What a powerful session you had! You must be exhausted. Isn't it interesting how we can be triggered and not initially know it. We just get more and more uncomfortable. I'm glad you could figure it out and now try to deal with it.
I also have had the experience of memories unfolding. For me it was having the sound begin to drop back in. I would have sworn so much of what happened was done in complete silence. I was wrong. Please be easy with yourself. It has been my experience that after a memory is released, even if you "knew it" already, the emotions can flood and wash over you in a painful way. I have a pattern of melt down about 6 hours later and into the next day. And I'm surprised at the physical concentration of the pain in my chest.
You were brave to talk to her. I'm glad you did it, even if you did have to skip EMDR. (Don't you think it is interesting that you booked them over each other...hmmm...wonder which to avoid?)
thanks for sharing.
Daisy
