Did my first EMDR session and not very sure if it was supposed to happen like this.
Did my first EMDR session yesterday. Therapist asked me what I should work on and I picked one issue without knowing how to pick. The therapy was done online and I was doing butterfly tapping for bilateral stimulation. Felt dizzy while doing it and I told therapist and she helped me to calm down. Cried a lot and finally could find some peace. Is all this normal?I couldn't stop crying even after the session and after an hour or so I could finally feel better. I felt too tired after this and resting ever since. I have back to back sessions planned for the whole week. Is that normal?
Also I don't remember any of my trauma. It's all a blur. All I know is the symptoms like hyper vigilance, shame, anxiety, sleep issues. I don't know what to work on tomorrow 🥲
