EMDR Made You Feel Worse? Here’s How to Advocate for Yourself

Let’s talk about how to advocate for yourself in therapy—especially when something feels off. 💬 In this video, Traci Pirri, LCSW-S, shares the story of a woman who started EMDR therapy with high hopes. It felt like she was finally breaking free from her past... until the emotional overwhelm hit. Weeks of sadness followed, and she started wondering if EMDR was even right for her. Here’s the truth: EMDR should help you feel more empowered—not more fragile. If you’re walking away from sessions feeling worse long-term, something needs to shift. This video offers practical tips on how to advocate for yourself, ask better questions, and find support that works with your nervous system, not against it. 🔗 Explore more or schedule a consultation: 💬 Learn how EMDR therapy works and who it helps https://hopeforthejourney.org/emdr-th... 🌊 Want to go deeper, faster?
