Your experience during EMDR is absolutely fascinating. I had an incredibly similar experience recently, meeting with my own exile in a cavern-like space, and a healing experience that was alchemical in nature. It was powerful. Your post has given me a lot of language and insights to explain / interpret my own experience and ongoing journey. Now much to go off and read more about! Thank you for sharing x
Hi Jen, it's fascinating what can come up in the spaces practices like EMDR create. I wondered if others had similar experiences or if it was my strong imaginal nature that allowed the meeting of the exile to take place :) I remember my therapist at the time was struck by how vivid my inner visions were during the exercise.
I'm glad to hear my sharing resonated and gave you some ways to frame your own experience. Thanks for reading!

Do you ever lead workshops at Esalen?
I have not taught at Esalen but would love to. Have you taken classes there before?
