Early Childhood Trauma Recovery

My sessions with Kathleen have been transformative. I’ve had moderate success with EMDR therapy to help me to get past some early childhood trauma. My first two sessions in the Egg were amazing and calming. My third was mind boggling.

As a victim of early childhood abuse, I have had trouble identifying who “I” am. I know how others see me, and I know that I am loved as I am, but who is “I?” I have very few memories from childhood, so there have been few answers for me there.

In my third session, I was able to unlock and experience a memory from when I was about three or four. I remember crawling up the stairs in the back hall of my grandparents’ home. The sun on me; the rough edges of the stairs under my knees as I crawled up them; the smell of garlic, onions, potatoes, and dirt; and a feeling of perfect, unadulterated love.

This experience helped me to connect to a me that existed before my abuse, and it helped to resolve the identity crisis that I was experiencing.

I don’t know if I will ever have such a vivid experience again, but I will continue this work. As an atheist that was mystified by my experience with EMDR, I was open to the Egg, and I’ve been rewarded.
