EMDR was NEVER helpful for me... but it is contraindicated for people with DID i believe. My old T didn't know that though. That made things a lot harder for me.

I am working with a trauma T and we do a LOT of processing of the trauma, and it is actually helpful for me. It is REALLY hard work. Painful a lot of times. But she is really good and comforting, and that helps a lot. It also helps that we have really long sessions (sometimes as much as 4 hours at a time) so if something gets stirred up a lot, we have time to calm down. I think that makes a BIG difference. If I were in just the regular 50 minute or 90 minute session type therapy, NO i definitely would not find it helpful.
