Courthouse Boredom

I am sitting at the local courthouse and am waiting for my number to be called. It is a slow tedious process in which my turn never seems to show up on their posting board.

This made me think of a question I am frequently asked as an EMDR therapist; namely, what EMDR can help. In my practice, I use it for anger, addictions, fears, phobias and of course, trauma.

This made me think of my current situation and the emotions which can arise in such an environment. These might include frustration, anger and boredom, to name a few. I would say yes to the first two. It would be interesting to see how EMDR would impact boredom and if it can be addressed after the fact or if addressing boredom while engaged in the situation would be more beneficial.

This certainly gives food for thought.
