Starting EDMR in a few weeks.

I'm excited and nervous. I'm very ready. The timing is awful but I think I understand my life is balls to the wall or nothing at all. I've loved these demons but it's time to set them free and move on. It frightens me. But I realize I need to let go and change. I really want to.

@Pretzel Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured, evidence-based psychotherapy designed to alleviate distress from traumatic memories. It utilizes bilateral stimulation—such as eye movements, taps, or tones—while focusing on traumatic memories to help the brain reprocess and integrate them, reducing their emotional intensity. It is primarily used for PTSD but also treats anxiety, depression, and phobias.
