EMDR Trauma Retreat: Day 5

 Today started with a little more dread because I knew we would be tackling the car crash today. I really struggled today, as one might imagine I might. We spent most of the day just trying to desensitize me from the numbness I've built up over the past 4.5 years and allow me to feel feelings related to this again. I feel like we were lightly successful. I'm trying to be kind to myself.



One of the cool things was that I imagined reaching out to a friend and then after a round checked my phone and found a text from them checking in at about the same time I'd imagined reaching out to them for help. <3  

I came back to my room and collapsed for a nap and I'm waiting for dinner to be delivered. I might do laundry tonight, but I might wait until tomorrow. Oooohhhhh, such big things happening here. Haha! 

I've decided that it's important for me to share several articles from the crash as well as for me to review them again, so if you decide to look at them - here they are:

Walt Disney and heading home

 I was able to visit the Walt Disney Family Museum before I headed home. It was a great stop for me and it was fascinating.  I was able to see the WW2 exhibit they had but pictures weren’t allowed. After that, I headed to the airport to fly home. My puppies were so happy to see me!

Visiting the redwoods and heading south again

 I had arrived at my adorable Airbnb right around midnight and crawled into bed. I was in Miranda, CA. I woke up a few hours later and got ready for my day. It was finally time to see the redwoods! They were amazing! I went to one of the visitors centers and learned a little bit about the history of the area and then wandered on a little nature walk.  Then I headed to one of the drive thru trees that are in the area. It was crazy! I headed further south from there and eventually crossed the Golden Gate Bridge and arrived at my hotel for the night. I had some down time to rest and enjoyed that. Then, I headed out for a nighttime tour of San Francisco.    I did some souvenir shopping and ordered in some dinner before getting some sleep. Still more adventures to come!

Grieving Quote

Favorite Quote of the day: "Grieving is a process we go through that helps us let go of hopes and dreams we no longer have. It's a process that helps us obtain new hopes and dreams." -Kent Allen #WWConference2018
