I’ve been doing EMDR for 7 months now and I never brought up that I’ve had severe arachnophobia since I was a kid and I’ve noticed HUGE improvements the last few months. A jumping spider was on my sweater and I calmly tried to get him to climb onto a post instead of up my shirt and then I brushed him off but it was more like a reflex than actual fear and I was worried I had hurt him even though I was gentle. I was doing EMDR for something unrelated and sometimes I feel like I’m banging my head against a wall and not getting anywhere but this gives me hope. Keep going💕🐞
