Chapter 10: The Night I Held the Weight of Their War

A vivid EMDR session exploring childhood trauma, emotional protector roles, and the somatic impact of survival.

Please note: This chapter comes from an earlier version of the book, where the term “Counselor” was used. The final, published version has been revised to accurately reflect the title “Therapist” in reference to the EMDR professional who guided my healing journey. I made this correction to honor the work and role of my licensed EMDR Therapist.
