Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Yo Denise
EMDR is a very valuable form of therapy, especially if you are a long time practitioner of TM/TMSP. I had an EMDR therapist who had lots of extra hours and I had loads of good insurance so for ~~$15 co pay for a 50 minute hour I managed to put in 1200 hours of EMDR in one year. I think that's a world record. For me there was no need for any of the coping skills, the boxes, the safe places. It was just forge, forge ahead. TM/TMSP had pre-processed most of the emotion, so for me it was more like watching things from a bullet train or even a jet plane. Regrettably, EMDR can't handle pre-verbal stuff. So there's a lot of retching, vomiting, loosening of muscles, expanding spine going on with lots of heavy, heavy yagyas in the past year. My EMDR therapist, on the board of directors of EMDRIA, had a hard time figuring out how it was I could so very quickly move thru stuff. The proof was in the constant expansion of my emotional and behavioral repertoire. So much fear, almost OCD, dissolved so very quickly. I continued processing during my TM/TMSP and my sleep. Indeed I continued processing pretty much 24 hours a day. My EMDR therapist was confident enough to give me a bunch of EMDR CDs to copy. I listened to the CDs during off hours and for years after the therapy was over. I took a break about every quarter and went to round for a week at MUM. That helped process things especially well. OK, I'm ready, Dr. Vaj. Hit me with what utter bullshit EMDR is.

His wife, my primary friend in the relationship, had left for their island retreat with the kids (one of them mine) and I sat down with a glass of wine to "shoot the sh*t" with her husband, who I hadn't seen in awhile, and who was staying behind.  In hindsight, he must have been drinking heavily throughout the day (he had a very high tolerance and it was hard to tell). In hindsight, they had invited me to their wedding anniversary at Teatro Zinzani the year before as they "weren't enjoying just spending time with themselves anymore."  In hindsight, he lost his mind.  It was a physical fight and he didn't get what he wanted at the time.  He apologized, but it was too late.  > > > > I cut off contact with both of them immediately.  I begged off dinner invitations.
