Finally! Scenarios as part of mental wellness

[Julia]

I’ve started EMDR in my therapy. It’s a type of therapy that pinpoints and heals moments in your life where you were seriously traumatized. In preparation my therapist guides me to think of how I felt, then how I wish I had felt, and then I make up new endings to the story. It’s a way to revisit real things that happened that still upset me, but have new feelings. Anyway, it’s been hard, but my MD has been extremely useful. I can create all kinds of amazing scenarios that I wish had happened instead. It really helps that everything feels so real. Anyway, just wanted to share the wealth.
