Just wanting to share a win
I'm feeling more feelings! After my most recent session i have been actually feeling some feelings in real time and been able to identify them. I felt my cheeks flush and it had been so long since I'd truly felt embarrassment and been able to identify it. I even question if I have ever been able to identify the feeling of embarrassment. That's how I finally noticed I've been feeling more feelings was the sensation of my cheeks flushing. Cheeks flushing is a strange sensation and I genuinely was freaked out by it at first and didn't know what it was. I was a toddler when I started suppressing my feelings so I wonder if I didn't even get to learn the names of my feelings because I was so young when I started suppressing them. Just thinking out loud on that one. I plan to share this all with my therapist. Just wanted to share a win somewhere that gets it. I tried to tell my husband and he was confused by what I meant haha. My therapist kept saying my last session was a big one for me but I didn't understand what she meant. I realized days later that It was the first time I'd named feelings besides sad or mad in an emdr session and I didn't even notice lol. Just feeling the win and wanted to share.
