Laura,

don't know where you are on your decision to work with the T you mentioned. One thing stuck out and bothered me for a survivor of abuse. You said the T works from home in his "sleepers". Do you mean his pajamas? That just doesn't seem healthy to me. He is there for a client, not a nap. If I didn't misunderstand, I'd have to say for me as a DID person that would be uncomfortable and off-putting.

Also, it sounds like he started in with you and then discovered you have some longer term things to work out and that maybe he and the EDMR stuff is not going to be something he can work with you. I just want you to be safe and helped. You need to feel safe with whomever you work with and sometimes in therapy I've had to move on after a short time when I saw that something was not going to work out for me. Not all clients and therapists are a guaranteed fit.

I know you will find someone who can be a true help to you. You need that! IMO. Wishing things go well for you,
