Yes!! I don't have any major traumas, at least none that I know of, but I am stuck in various places in my childhood. I had "little traumas" and an EMDR expert, not my T, told me that EMDR is used for those too. I have those same kinds of memories, like when kids in 5th grade passed notes around to everyone except me. I wasn't accepted in the clique and that's been the story of my life.
I fight against EMDR because I don't feel connected to my T when we do it, but it always gets me to feelings that are important. Remember, there is no right or wrong way to do EMDR. I come up with images that have nothing to do with the target we're working on, and my T says that's where my brain needs to go. EMDR is weird, but I think it works. Good luck and let me know how it goes.
