“I deeply feel that TRN and the EMDR therapy gave me the opportunity to self reflect between sessions, whilst always feeling safe. This feeling of safety was really important to me, I didn’t stop to listen to my body (I do now). So between each session I was able to ‘tune’ in and use my toolbox to think about the peripheral thoughts and reactions I had around the traumatic event.
It was an intense period of self-reflection, which was something I wasn’t expecting. The EMDR processing is quick, but this works so well so I didn’t dwell. Thoughts and physical feeling come up like waves and I would notice a physical change within in my body. That ‘lifting‘ ,‘passing’ feeling of something bothering you is profound. I felt it like a click- it was working. Then when ‘put to the test’ in an everyday scenario, where previously I’d have been triggered, it was gone. I was at peace and I’d achieved my goal of ‘just talking about it’. Who knew the power of a moving dot. Who knew the power my brain had and the body I had, that was screaming at me to listen. “
