Dunno the why of ^it^, but ^it^ happens to me, too. In my own strictly personals, ^it^ seems to process more effectively when I neither question nor suppress ^it^. I *just* lean into ^it^ and go where ^it^ takes me. Every so often, ^it^ even leads me to a reasonable explanation which feels more reliable than the explanations I arrive at through anxious psychobabble.

Continued support while you figure what ^it^ is for you, MJ. Tears happen. I think of them as a shower for the soul. Hope yours left you clean and refreshed.

Thanks Arfie. I still can’t put my finger on it but I’m back to EMDR therapy today. Maybe we can shed some light on what’s going on.

Looking forward to the update.

i don't know too, MJ
wonder if maybe a certain amount of tears need to happen pre-removal?? or post-removal - or somethin?? i like waht arfie said about a shower for the soul xo

Sorry you are feeling this way MJ. I went through much the same . Sometimes in EMDR I cannot connect a current feeling of oh, say shame, to a specific time in the past but when I can it clears up some hidden emotions and I can release it. One thing my therapist told me to do when those feelings come up outside of therapy is to place my hand on my head and look back to an age I think it might connect to and comfort myself with positive affirmations. I do this until the emotions are finished and it seems to help.

Good luck to you in therapy today, I hope you are able to get some positive installations included in your session before leaving.

Support & hugs mj

I remember my first yoga class and the instructor told us about one woman that cried uncontrollably afterwards. She said yoga often unlocks body memories and it's actually a release. Maybe that's what happened? There's now some science backing up the body/muscle memory theory.ich support while you sort. X

I believe it! We hold a lot of emotions in our body and all of the stretching and twisting definitely releases it. I’ve been emotional in yoga class several times before.
