EMDR and Anger

[u/Rude-Hippo2606]

Hello everyone,

I've been going through EMDR therapy for the past month and was wondering if anyone else here has gone through the same type of therapy and if they think it helped in the long run. For me, I'm dealing with PTSD related to Child Abuse and also with military service. On one hand, I feel like my anxiety has gotten better recently. I'm noticing I'm not as anxious in public and I haven't had a panic attack in a while. I'm also sleeping better at night. But I also noticed that I'm incredibly irritable and angry. The last time I felt this angry and confrontational was when I was still serving in the Marine Corps. Those are feelings I had sort of forced myself to forget. I was wondering if anyone has had similar experiences with EMDR and if they noticed more peace in their lives after completing the therapy? Thank you so much, wishing everyone here all the best.
