I love EMDR so much. 10+ years on and off in traditional therapy, I always kept asking therapists "why do I still feel this in my body like it happened yesterday?" None of them could answer or get to the root of that. That was my major frustration with trad therapy. 1/2

You will not steal my happiness or my joy. I may have been down in the trenches but a muthafuckin Phoenix I will rise. It is my falls and my ability to get up time and time again that you should fear me. My tenacity will always outweigh your insecurities.
