Hello Jodie. I've just discovered you. I'm also healing from C-PTSD and resonate with that feeling of NOT being comfortable in your own skin. I too tried EMDR and found it to be more powerful than all the other things I've tried - like psychodynamic therapy, family constellations, kinesiology, affirmations, CBT, EFT, reiki, kundalini yoga, dance, meditation (still can't do it - prefer to journal) etc. etc. I do find IFS (internal family systems) and inner child work works well for me, but what you said about self-acceptance is IT!!!! Knowing that you're lovable whatever the weather. Thank you for sharing Jodie. Lovely to meet you here. Lisa x
I love this, I've just trained to deliver EMDR and I'm really excited to hear this. What I have experienced of it myself feels really similar to what you have written. I'm excited to do more EMDR and do less CBT in future. Getting into embodiment and connection with those unprocessed memories.
i really relate to the feeling of being stuck as a constant undercurrent in life and seeking out solutions to ease it, i feel like processing trauma is something i’ve been putting off as i don’t know quite how to tackle it - although i’m aware it’s self acceptance that’s likely needed. thank you for your words and for sharing your softness 🫶🏻
