> so i was trying to tell her that its hard for me cuz i feel like a liar sometimes because i have these "snipit's" of memory but nothing else, and sometimes its like they're just a big GLOB of memories, that i can't really decipher one from another...thus making me feel like i'm lying about all of it cuz i can't pinpoint anything.
WOw, B2, that is exactly what I was trying to tell my T and why I had trouble coming up a specific memory of what happened. There is a big glob of sh*t, and it all is in different pieces and I was getting frusterated because it is hard to have a beginning, middle and end to the memory. When I do EMDR you think of the memory, well how can you do that when parts are missing? Auuugghhh! I think my T thought I was being stubborn or resistant, but I was't.
> She said that she read about trauma theories and that there is trauma1 and trauma2 and that one happens once and those memories tend to be Very Specific and lots of detail (say like an earthquake or something). where as the other is multiple or over years and the memories tend to blend together....I have read this in Spario's book on EMDR, the women who developed the technique. But she called it little t's(t standing for traumas) and big T's. and a lot of little t's can be just as bad as one big T, like say Sept. 11th thing if you were in the middle of that.
> Man> does anyone else have these issues with 'memories'. that it's like a big glob and you can't decipher one from the other??
> b2cWell I do , I have very specific memories, and then a big glob of stuff too. I want your T, B2 okay?
