PTSD therapy?? Can't stuff memories down.

Posted by ClearSkies on March 25, 2006, at 0:40:06

Something shifted in me this past week. Now all my memories of past traumas are with me in vivid detail. Especially when I try to sleep.
When I saw my T this week, she wanted me to take it easy on myself, to not force this process and to be gentle. I can't stop these memories, there is no gentleness in remembering, I think I'm going to see if I can get in to see her earlier than my next appointment.
This is freaking me out, so invasive, don't think I should be stopping these feelings and thoughts, but how to do this safely?
I went through EMDR on this a year and a half ago. I don't feel dirty and depressed sitting with these memories, but wonder if I should journal the thoughts to get them out of my head.
I appreciate any comments.
