English translation:
Before I came to Larissa for EMDR, I often had the feeling that I was no longer in my body, a sensation of fainting. I was frequently overfatigued and forgetful, and I felt overstimulated.
During the treatment, you don’t immediately realize the overwhelming effect it will have. I let it wash over me and respond to Larissa’s questions with the first thing that comes to mind. Afterward, the situation it was about fades into the background.
As a result, I derive more joy from my life. I feel closer to myself, and my focus is better. There is much more peace in my mind. The things that were blocking me from progressing in my personal development are suddenly no longer in my way. The path to development is clear, and it feels so good that I can’t wait for the next session!
