Okay guys. For those of you who remember my IRRT therapy sessions that I had to stop doing cause I started to switch really bad after the first session HERE is what I pretty much did with my therapist.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about here are the three entries in which I wrote about my sessions with my own therapist back in September & October:
IRRT Therapy - Sept. 25, 2007
IRRT Therapy ~ Session #1 - Oct 13, 2007
A Challenging Week - Oct 21, 2007
Only my memory that I went into as the adult with her … to take care of my child-self and rescue her, and help her to understand that my Mom was sick — the memory was during a time when my Mom tried to drown me in front of my little sister in the bathtub, and my Dad had to drag her off of me. I switched during the time that it happened and I only know that my Dad had to drag her off of me because my little sister remembers it and I found out about it through her.
So, only because I developed dissociative identity disorder, and I switched into an alter personality during this episode of abuse as a child, this type of therapy was not beneficial to me being able to function in my day-to-day life. Because I began to switch again after the therapy session. My switching was disrupting my day-to-day functioning and so we stopped with this type of therapy. Also, in my therapy we taped it on a tape recorder so that I could listen to it. Listening to it in my therapists office in our second IRRT therapy session REALLY brought a lot out and I really do wish this type of therapy could have worked for me.
So, if your interested in this type of therapy please watch this to get an idea of what it entails.
Just because it didn’t work for me DOESN’T mean it CAN’T help YOU!
Love & Hope Sent,

Can you explain how this is different than EMDR? I tried to watch the video but it was too much and I had to quit.
