This emotional stuff is so draining. I feel asleep this afternoon and didn't wake up until 5:30, a half hour past the time I was suppose to pick up my husband from work.
I left a message for my new T that things went well with my old T but after the EMDR I feel emotionally and physcially DRAINED still.
I know EMDR continues to work even after the session, so there was some serious action going on in my brain after that session about my old T. I hope I feel better tomorrow. I guess it isn't that I feel bad, I am just some damn exhausted.
Have any of you felt this way whether or not you had EMDR after therapy session that was very intense?
Oh, yeah a good thing I think, my new T has his email listed on his business card, I assume it is okay to email him. Well he wouldn't put it on his card if it wasn't okay to email him.
I also asked him a question that he said it takes sometimes months for most of his clients to ask, is how do I address him? Well he said it was up to me and for what I felt comfortable with.

Hi Happyflower:
You did it, never understimate your strength.
I would think if your T's email address is on his business card that it's okay to email him. Otherwise he would have given it to you separately if it's okay. Which is what my T did. Then again maybe I'm not so special, maybe she does that with everyone. But I'm her favorite!
You are so right that emotional stuff is draining. Glad you got to let some of it out through your emotional release drainage system. I want a copyright on that term.

Yep, sometimes EMDR would just wipe me out for a day or two. And for you, the meeting with the ex-t (which you seemed to handle so beautifully!) just must add to the exhaustion.
take care,
antigua
