I knew EMDR is profound, but Iโ€™ve never heard a testimonial like this. Wow.

And, I think at least 60% of your progress is from your willingness. 20% is from your effort. And 15% is from your belief that it can resolve. Only 5% is from the EMDR. You are the one doing this shift. You are the one in control.

You are absolutely fucking amazing.

This is absolutely amazing to read! The amount of growth, strength, and resilience youโ€™ve shown here is inspiring. Overcoming such a deeply ingrained phobia is no small feat, and itโ€™s clear that youโ€™ve done an incredible amount of work to get to this point. The way you calmly handled Lucyโ€™s situation, even while managing some lingering anxiety, shows just how far youโ€™ve comeโ€”what a huge win for both you and her!

Itโ€™s also amazing to hear how this progress is giving you back freedom in so many areas of your life, from eating without fear to being present in situations that once felt impossible. Your courage to face these fears head-on and your commitment to therapy and healing is remarkable. Itโ€™s clear that this EMDR process has been transformative for you, and itโ€™s exciting to see how itโ€™s helped you rewrite those patterns and step into a version of yourself thatโ€™s no longer held hostage by fear.

You should be so proud of yourself. This isnโ€™t just about tackling a phobiaโ€”itโ€™s about reclaiming your life, your peace, and your ability to enjoy the things that matter most. Thank you for sharing this; itโ€™s a testament to how powerful healing can be. I canโ€™t wait to hear part 2! Keep goingโ€”youโ€™ve got this!
