6 months ago started seeing a Somatic Therapist who by God’s grace is covered with my insurance. We’ve been doing EMDR and I swear it’s been an exorcism for the anxiety that lives rent free in my body. After our last sesh she asked me how I was feeling - while sobbing, I responded, “you know that meme of Nicole Kidman after she finalized her divorce? I feel free!”
Disclaimer: You do revisit a lot of trauma so be ready for that, but it is healing :)

I have been hard at work in therapy for the past 8 + years, working through old wounds and traumas. I did a combo of CBT and art therapy for 5 years with a therapist named Rebecca. She changed my life. I moved away and needed to find a new therapist (oh man it was an interesting journey trying different therapists out, this one guy was an old Cali Jungian who made me feel crazy and shit on mentally ill people every session I had with him and sent me a lengthy angry text message when I ended things with him.) Now, I am trying EMDR with a different therapist named Rebecca - it’s working out great. We have been doing a lot of visualizations while I hold these two buzzers in my hands. I pictured myself putting this friend of mine who fuckboy’d me into a blue velvet ottoman cartoon style. With a slide whistle sound effect and everything. I reimagined this creepy guy experience. This dude was yapping at me in a creepy way, with EMDR my brain shrunk him down into a cartoon mouse and I couldn’t understand a word he was saying. I cried laughing crom some of these EMDR experiences.

I recently saw an invoice from last year from my second therapist, diagnosis being "persistent anxiety disorder". After one year of quality therapy and trauma integration my eyes saw the given diagnosis with different eyes. "I can kill my own illness. It's persisting up until my decision."
Feels nice for you to be in control.
