Say a normal person(whatever) that is triggered by something from the past (like child abuse), gets upset for remembering the memories, has nighmares that tends to make them more upset.
Then they talk to their T (the only person, they can tell this disturbing memory to), and then they feel better just for talking about it. At the time, I talked to my T was worried about getting PTSD again because of the nighmares. Well they have stoped since the session, I feel okay. So I think I am fine.
My T wanted to possibly do EMDR to help with the memory. We were going to talk about it this week in my session and maybe try it again. But I think, the memory was very emotional when I remembered it, but now if feels (more distant) in my mind.
So when a normal person has an upsetting memory, are they upset maybe for a few days, but then are okay? So I am hanling this like a normal person would?
