Two EMDR appointments

Posted by Dinah on January 10, 2004, at 20:57:05

For interviews. (Although I'm not sure I made it clear that it was an interview for the first person. Oh well, she can interview me too.) Monday morning, Tuesday afternoon. Both have level II certification.

I think I'm prepared. I printed out information on the way I'm wanting to use EMDR, wrote out the brief life history including things I want to work on with EMDR requested by the second therapist. I don't need to read it, but it will give me notes to work from. And I'm going to write down some phrases and short reminders to jog my sometimes faulty memory, which sometimes gets faultier when I'm nervous.

But I'm prepared to be flexible and follow their leads. I just have all that ready so I don't mess up the way I do sometimes.

I'll see which, if either, seems comfortable with working with me given my dissociative tendencies. Honestly, both seemed somewhat diffident on the phone. And I suppose it would help if I felt comfortable with them as well, or at least didn't dislike them. The one who wasn't interested in working with me had the nicest voice. :(

I probably should dress a bit more conventionally than I usually do.

I'm psyched. I'm ready. And if it doesn't work out, I won't be terribly distressed.

Any other advice?
