5:44 she says it's a little bit brutal, but when I started, I was prepared that I was going to go to that point in time, so I was prepared. I was in control. I could stop at any time. Unlike flashbacks where they appear suddenly, and because I'm caught off guard, it's hard to stop it. I think that's one good reason to have a counselor with you and not do this on your own. They are watching you and I think if my physical response got high, she would interrupt with questions. Because I don't ever remember thinking "this is brutal". EMDR really helped me stop the flashbacks. 💕🌞🌵😷
