Oooh yeah I have the opposite problem yeah. My EMDR therapist says I need a happy memory before we can proceed and it’s the hardest part so far.

First off, good luck getting your happy memory. Second, yo I find EMDR to be like modern magic. It’s so unintuitive on it’s surface and so obviously more effective than just talk therapy. Why should tapping on my shoulders and thinking about things in a certain way rewire my brain so much faster??
It makes much more sense after looking into it, but wow. What a cool thing to have access to in our modern world.

From what I heard, it essentially tricks your brain into thinking it is in REM sleep. Then with the guide of the therapist we curate an experience for the subconscious to process, just like a dream would. But it’s way more efficient considering that we are guiding it to a specific experience that we want to process and have a specific result from it. What I heard anyway.
