The thing that was most
difficult about doing EMDR
is putting yourself back
in that same scenario.
And for me, that scenario
was when I got shot,
I had to go back to that every two weeks.
And remember that, the feelings,
the sounds, the smells,
the pavement, the pavement being so hot,
I had to put myself back in that situation
in order to eventually take out the sniper
that ended up shooting me.
It was difficult when I would come home
because sometimes those feelings
and those memories last
longer than a therapy session.
So a 60 minute EMDR session
may result in two days of trauma for me,
two days of remembering June 17th, 2007,
when I got shot by that sniper.
But over time, things
eventually got better for me.
