PC,
Wow, England...I'm jealous! I've always wanted to go, but my husband and his family have been there twice, I believe, and he is not interested in going back before he goes other unnamed places. Even just going to Florida over the holidays this past year was kind of rough on my depression. Although now that I think about it, not only was I away from my T for about 3 weeks, I had my mom around, which is unusual for me in Florida. Hmmm, have to think some more about this.
But anyway, even good stress is stressful. How about if you and your husband come up with a code word that you can use when/if you feel on the verge of an attack. Then you can plan in advance what you will do in that case.
And I think Dinah's idea of another EMDR session is great. Also, don't forget the meditating. That seems to work well for you.
I hope you have a marvelous time. We'll miss you here, of course. Here's hoping the weather is partly sunny or even fair!
Take care,
gg
