I’m doing EMDR and I need to think of a nurturing figure to help regulate myself, to help me with the feelings of being loved and cared for.
This is a struggle in my day to day life. I’m considering relying on more of an archetype than a literal person. Eg Mother Earth.
I’ve just joined this community, as I’m getting a little bit witchy and woo is new to me. Any recommendations of women? Archetypes? Goddesses etc ?
I’m a few (maybe 5 or 6) sessions into EMDR, we are still at the formulating stage.
I’m really struggling and have been feeling dreadful for the last couple of weeks. I’m struggling with the resourcing part of the sessions, thinking of a safe space and even worse, safe people.
Any tips or resources for resourcing 😂 please let me know 🙏🏻 has anyone else struggled this much?
I have AuDHD and a specific issue with imperfection so I can’t think of safe people when there are times they have been unsafe, for example. But I realise I need this foundation before I progress.
I’ve just poked, prodded and picked what feels like every single pore on my face, with a torch and a magnifying mirror.
I’m sure I will not regret this tomorrow! 🥹
I don’t do any drugs at all, but I heard a woman on a podcast ages ago talking about how medically beneficial it can be to go through a psychedelic retreat. Where you can heal some core childhood wounds.
I’ve AuDHD and cPTSD and unsure of a safe forum to post in, that’s not full of people looking for a fun weekend. Please redirect me elsewhere?
I really do want to start living comfortably in my brain and my body. Anyone looked into this at all? Feel free to put me off. Right now I’m a few sessions in to EMDR and it’s making me feel worse not better, a quicker fix sounds more appealing.
