I have been doing EMDR for about 6 months now. I am in the middle of processing a very difficult memory re: childhood physical abuse. My therapist says it will probably take multiple sessions to work through. For some reason, though, since my last session another TOTALLY unrelated memory (albeit equally difficult) from my adult life keeps surfacing. I am able to put it in my safe container and will discuss it with my therapist, but I am annoyed that it keeps replaying in my mind. This intrusive memory is for future exploration. Quite honestly, I only have enough emotional energy to deal with one at a time. Does anyone have any insight as to why this might be happening? (F69)
