4 weeks later.
Earlier this year I had the opportunity to experience Equine EMDR.
I have spent the last 5 years in a silent battle. A battle of shame, guilt, frustration, anger and loss. I would wake up every morning and go to bed every night with the same images, sounds and reels playing in my head. I would chase these demons away with everything from adrenaline to alcohol.
I was failing and that was getting more evident to the people around me...
When I was approached by TerrI to try this ... form of EMDR therapy,
I said yes without hesitation.
I wanted control of my life.
I was tired.
To be outside, with a horse that can pick up your energy, your presence and feel you before you can is therapeutic in itself. (With the Arena EMDR Intensive) rewiring your brain is a whole new experience...
I am grateful for this experience and feel it’s time to share.
. I can still think about that night and not spin out.
I remember more now than I did before
and my association with RT91 is more peaceful than it ever was before.
I can breathe. I can cry and not end up in a tail spin.
I can hear music again and smile.
If anyone is searching for an answer to trauma, I highly recommend this form of therapy. The idea of being outside, in the air,
with a horse is part of the healing experience.
I am truly grateful for this experience and know it has helped me.
