Episode 32: When Their Trauma Therapy Starts, So Does Yours | EMDR for BPD and EUPD Families

Your young person has been offered EMDR or they've just started and you nodded in the appointment and then googled it in the car park. Sound familiar?In this episode I'm breaking down what EMDR actually is (in plain English, I promise), why the first weeks can feel like nothing's happening, and why they might come home from sessions exhausted, dreamy and raw and why that's usually a sign it's working, not failing.But mostly, this one's about us. The hope we're scared to feel. The ache of being outside the therapy room door. The guilt that creeps in when our child starts processing their past. And what actually helps on session days (spoiler: snacks and silence beat questions every time).This one's a bit close to home for us right now, so it comes from the heart.Come and join the free Chaos to Calm community on Facebook, you'll find your people there: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1DFnZi2phf/?mibextid=wwXIfrIf you're worried about your young person's safety, always contact their therapist, your GP, or crisis services.
