After thinking about doing it for a long time, i had my first proper session of emdr today where I was processing a memory around my mothers death when I was very young. The whole thing was so incredible I just wanted to share because i almost cant believe what happened. The memory that was distressing me was that of my mom lying on her bed at home when she was taking her last breaths. I went through it again and during it I asked her not to leave and she lifted off the bed and I pulled her back down. We then went downstairs where she took out a book that she got me when I was younger that had my name in it, she told me i was special and how much she loved me and we petted our family dog that she loved. Then my father and siblings entered the memory and he said how he didn't want her to leave and he would miss her so much. We all danced together in our kitchen and then went for a drive and listened to a singer that she loved. It was so surreal I feel like I just had a visit with her. Has anyone experience something similar?
