Oscillation between two mind sets

Hey there @creative_writer 🌺

it’s ok - never worry about delays in reply, life happens and the lesser amount of things worrying you the better 💜

I hope the last little while is going better for you?
I’ve had a third session with a psychologist now, and she’s really nice, however the last session we just talked about stuff in general instead of getting to any EMDR stuff.
she’s away for a month or so, so I guess we will pick it up sometime when she gets back.
I hope you’re doing alright.

Thanks heaps @creative_writer 🙂

I think she didn't consider too much assessment prior to diving into EMDR; we just started straight away, after having a bit of discussion in the first appointment. I think this last one time was taken up with discussing stuff associated with it, so we kind of ran out of time to do actual EMDR (but she had a horizontal light bar ready, so I guess that will be part of it in the future).

I hope youve been going ok, and able to do a bit more braining while uni stuff is still ongoing xx ❤️

Hey there @creative_writer 🌺🙂

thanks for sharing 🌺💜 I hope your doing ok today..? 🫂

Sounds hard when things get stressful…I hope the techniques from your psychologist are helpful in a practical way for you 🙂

I’m hoping the EMDR becomes helpful - we haven’t done actual therapy yet; just all the setup and learning about it in these last few appointments.
hopefully next appointment when she gets back after her break in around 5-6 weeks we can get into it, and I’ll catch you up on how it goes then, if you’d like 🌺🙂

the matcha tea sounds very interesting.. I haven’t had it before. I’m so glad it helps you with braining through the day…it’s so important to have some function to get things done isn’t it..you’re an inspiration in how much you face yet you still keep going 🫂💜🌺🙂

Yeah, that makes sense @creative_writer re feeling like that 🙂🌺 ..however, getting stuff done is still getting stuff done, and that’s still an achievement, I tend to think 💜🙂🌺

I admire the ability to brain in the morning! That would be definitely on my wish list ☺️👌🏻

That’s great to hear EMDR helped, and thanks heaps for sharing what it was like for you - that’s super helpful 💜🙂🤗

I already have the sense that even discussing that the memories will be somehow processed has brought them closer to my thoughts during the days, and during the days some memories are randomly bumping up against what I’m trying to do..

it’s ok though, I’ve had lots of ptsd over decades so these little increases are not causing any significant distress 💜🌺🙂

I hope your evening is going well sweetheart 🫂🌺😊
