I have a question about trauma work. When I first began therapy T and I did some EMDR only a couple of times. I also did some body work-hitting a soft table with a padded bat. Both of these triggered me big time, and I was retraumatized. T said that just talk therapy was right for me. I understand that these methods work well for a lot of people and sometimes I wonder if I could try EMDR again, but I don't really want to. What I wonder about is when you guys say you were doing trauma work, then taking a break from trauma work. I mean isn't it all trauma work? It's just my perspective but it feels like it's all trauma work. Those sessions that are not weepy or triggery are building the foundation of the relationship that sustains us during the tough times I think. What do you guys think?
