Welcome back to Part 2 of Private Parts with me, Liv Bentley and my glorious guest this week, Anna Lee. I'm going to say it wrong again, EMDL. Yeah. Oh, I got it right. And that, how does it work in terms of sessions? Does people, one, just have a few sessions of it and you sort of like rework a few things? Different practitioners work in different ways. I tend to work with people in one really like

intense session. We do a call first. Me to make sure that I think it's appropriate. One thing about

EMDR is you need to work on a single event. So, you know, an example would be if you've lived with

domestic violence for a long time, we need to pick a specific event what's kind of amazing about

mistress trauma that we work with is that after three months an event is considered to be

PTSD okay so three months and longer and it kind of stopped what that means is the nuances the

individual elements do start to merge into one and you kind

of begin to treat that as a single event. If it's within three months, you would treat that

as a recent traumatic event and you work on each element that you can still remember, if you

like, as a separate protocol. So again, a good practitioner for anyone listening will talk you

through that and where it is maybe you feel stark but from

I'm happy to speak from my own personal experience you know I had such a I was doing all the things

like all the stuff you know and I'm really privileged you know I was working in like sort of coaching

and therapeutic circles so I had access to know, people that could help me and

things like that. And I couldn't get past certain blocks and limitations. And when I was going

through my divorce, the barrister on my ex's side was so aggressive and so horrific. He was pointing at at me going who do you think you are

who do you think you are you know and it's very unusual you get a man doing that doing that to

you like i'm not a professional boxer they're not to do that well apparently not to my team

were horrified the whole team were horrified isn't that like a something tactic like a what's it called I watch a lot of CSI um yeah no order sorry yeah is it an

intimidation tactic and I can tell you it worked I mean I thank goodness I have I also have to tell you

I had a crystal in my bra like I went all good I love crystal. The only day we both talked about wearing a bra

today. It's a special occasion. We both got our roll his courts out. Put a bra on. But yeah,
