Moving Through Anxiety to Knowing
I grew up in a wealthy neighborhood, and after my parents divorced, felt shunned by the other children in the neighborhood for being different My family didn't have the money that everyone else did and I didn't have what felt like enough. I've always had trouble with money, never feeling like I had enough, and I've had anxiety around money and my survival.
Recently, I went for 3 EMDR sessions around my money anxiety. I had to make some major decisions in my life, namely my work life, living situation and I needed a new car. There were many variables, and many people involved, and this anxiety was worse than it had been in decades. I knew what I wanted, but felt like every decision could end up in disaster.
The sessions helped me be clear of my own needs and desires, instead of being stuck in anxiety and fear. I was then able to make tough decisions that were informed by my deeper knowing. I still don't know how it's all going to work out, but feel like I can trust the process. As I move forward, I remember the insights in the session, and it helps me know I am moving in the right direction. I think EMDR can help anxiety find a 'home' a place to land, so rest can be found.Read more EMDR success stories
