First EMDR: lost my mind the next day. Advice please!

A few days ago I had EMDR for the first time after months of psychotherapy.
I felt like a lot came up in EMDR but my goodness I fully come off my hinges the next day, I cried I screamed, I smashed plates I smashed an old phone. Etc.
What?! My therapist said I’d be a bit sensitive but …. This feels excessive.

Does anyone have any advice of what to do, what helped them etc?

Greatly appreciated thank you

Ok we’re planning on a second baby but a lot of logistical things keep popping into my mind.
And my anxious brain is solving a lot of the problems but this one I’m struggling with particularly.

Let’s say I want to go for a day to myself (walk round shops, see a friend, go swimming etc) and I have a 6 month old breastfed baby and a 3.5 year old.

How does my husband care for a baby plus our child? Even loading the car up to go out we live on a busy road …his does he take both kids out etc.

I’m spiralling.
