Oh, this sounds extremely difficult.

I see where he's coming from but how are my emotions going to be stable when i'm flooded with PTSD symptoms. Then he said he probably wouldn't do the treatment with me, it would be someone else. It took a year to trust him enough to tell him this stuff now he expects me to do it all over again, no way i'd rather die. I'm in such a mess, he promised he'd help me but how is this helping me.

Can you tell him these things? Could you perhaps send him these exact words in writing beforehand, in an email or a letter?
If I remember correctly, you had some scary symptoms after your EMDR... is that why he wants you to wait before doing it again?
My spontaneous reaction, which maybe has no relevance at all for you (if so, pay no attention to it) is that it sounds rather unfair to expect you to open up to a group of people if you have had a lot of trouble opening up to your T in the past. This might just be the fact that I would never do group therapy in a hundred years, though.
