EMDR Chronicles: Trauma from natural disasters, even if only via the news

 I realized that news items of natural and man-made disasters are traumatizing to me as well.

Doing EMDR, what came out to be most traumatizing to me are:

- the tsunami in Japan

- earthquakes (this shouldn't shock me because I survived the Baguio earthquake of 1990, or so I thought)

- vehicular accidents (I figured in one minor incident involving a motorbike -- I was trying to learn to drive a motorbike then when I saw a huge bus approaching) 

- footage of gunshots and stabbings
