~ The Toolshed ~

So I've decided to create a new space, similar to The Ice-Memery but instead of being silly memes, these are memes/images/words etc. that I've found that are more like tools and insights for recovery. Hence, I welcome you to:

~ The Toolshed! ~

🔧💡🔩🤔

These are things I've found that are insightful, provide psychoeducation, or that have helped inspire me in my recovery journey. I invite anyone who wishes to contribute to do so! It doesn't have to be pictures, it can be discussion, questions, videos, whatever you like! But to start us off, I would love to share a nice lil stack of memes/pics I've found that I thought were really worth the read.

P.S. If you haven't already, you can also check out our Coping Toolbox for ideas and strategies to help you when you need to cope with the hard stuff!

So without further ado, lemme kick us off!

Will just tag a few forumites to start, pls do tag anyone you feel would enjoy or wanna contribute to this thread!

@REDLINEZ750 all I remember from the couple of times that I used it as a teenager, was that I was tired & hungry and more inclined to get laid. Lol

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@REDLINEZ750 I am hoping that if it is being done by a trained professional the EMDR therapy could work.

But some of the negative things I have read have turned me off from it. I don't need to be retraumatised while doing therapy that is supposed to help me.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

My psychologist that i trust totally and believe from her actions not just words cares about my existance put EMDR in a way i understood it before i got into it.

she said they want to activate your trauma response deliberately and show you its controlable.

thats emdr in a nutshell.

it is definetly dangerous @Mustang67 yet has worked in those that are prepared

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@REDLINEZ750 yes I think that's the key. To use someone that knows how to prepare you for it. I know it is a while away for you, but I truly hope it works for you.
