I want to complete a triathlon. There. I said it. I don’t know when I am going to do it, but I want to do it. I cannot do it anytime soon because a) I have a commuter bike and the other bikers would laugh at me, b) I need to get about 1000 times stronger at swimming, and c) I have no idea how to manage the transitions. A buddy had a good idea, though. He suggested volunteering at a triathlon. That way I can see first-hand how others do it without the pain and humiliation of learning-while-doing.
Anyway. I have made my declaration. May the gods have mercy on me.

I’ve had two sessions and have been well pleased with how things have gone. I spent more time and money than I care to mention on traditional talk therapy, and so I was coming at this as a rather jaded patient with low expectations. But on the other hand, I have had several friends rave about the benefits of EMDR, so I was hopeful. Still I was quite skeptical, and my first session, which was mostly “getting to know you” crap, didn’t change my opinion much.
My second session was mind blowing. Whether or not the dramatic session will create results remains to be seen, but it turned me into a believer.
