My T mixes in SE with other general talk therapy methods. She doesn't do EMDR, at least with me. She describes what we're doing as trauma work as well. I've come to really enjoy it, because it's helped me to reconnect with my body, from which I had been dissociated for a good long time. Not that it's easy, or anything, but I feel like I have more access to my full experience now.

After probably a year of SE-type work, I started really crying in therapy. I think I maybe swung to the other extreme for a bit, but that was about more than the SE stuff.

I appreciate that your T is wanting to do what's helpful for you, but I think I might be a little wary of having my T try new techniques after having attended only one workshop. Maybe it was an intensive one, though? At any rate, I hope that it's helpful for you.
