> Thanks for the reply Shelli. I made the decision to stay away from professionals for a while; i really think the si occurs because memories are stirred up and i don't want them stirred up. but maybe i can do that all on my own, it just seems worse after a visit. thanks for your perspective, i think your issues are probably different than mine (unless abuse?- and you don't have to answer) even though we managed to find the same coping mechanism which is interesting. I hope you are well- judy

Judy, I think we have the same coping mechanism because we WERE both abused. But I think we're at different points in our therapy. I dealing right now with the hurt and anger I feel (or am trying to feel) because I wasn't protected; I'm not being overwhelmed by memories.

I was wondering whether your therapist is trained in RMDR and whether you have tried to process the memories in that way. The key is to process memories so that they don't keep coming back and taking over. EMDR has seemed to work well for people in that respect. To sort of go through a memory and resolve it for yourself.

I wish you had a place that felt safe for you to go so you could work much of your bad memories out before your baby is born. But you obviously, out of all your options, picked the one which feels right to you. So I hope you are feeling more comfort. Shelli
