Starting EMDR
By the end of my session for the day, I learned exactly how EMDR worked. The repetition of vibrations in my hand and the constant, Go with that, Frances was telling me, calmed me. Remembering the night that I killed Cameron had always been hard. Not that it wasn't today, but it just seemed easier having the vibrations as I remembered. They were steady, safe, and reliable. I knew they'd always be there. I could count on that, and it made me feel more in control. So at the end of my session, I was at a zero for how disturbing I found the image of the night at Wayne's party to be. I didn't feel complete control when I walked out of that building today, but I felt comfortable trying to drive again, and that was a huge step for me.

Hi Anna, this is Frances. You mentioned at our last therapy session that you had made a blog and I thought I would check it out. After reading what you have said about our sessions it seems to me like they are helping you. I also read your father’s comment and I would like you to please consider how far you feel you have come since the first day we met. You are making progress Anna, and I believe that we can continue together on your path to recovery.
