How to navigate EMDR processing within a trauma support group

Three of us from our trauma support group decided to do EMDR around the same time and now our group dynamic is completely different - we're all more raw and reactive, and last week two people got into this huge conflict about whether we should be sharing details about our sessions and I'm worried we're going to lose what we built.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

When multiple group members begin intensive trauma work simultaneously, the shared container may lack sufficient stability to hold everyone's increased vulnerability.
