oooh i know a little bit about this emdr is a therapy modality that reprocesses memories ive used it for the last year to work through challenging childhood memories or really negative self-stigma that i have i noticed that when going through treatment id start the session awake ready not tired and after id get into a memory id start yawning nonstop id apologize and say i have no idea where this is coming from my therapist said that getting sleepy is equivalent to dissociating so for instance reprocessing a challenging childhood memory and getting tired was my bodymind being like nah i dont want to do this right now as it pertains to work and tasks ive found a similar pattern i also get really tired when a task is overwhelming or challenging in short i wouldnt necessarily call it an adhd thing but a mechanism that unconsciously takes place when a situation is off-putting or tough
