I think in at least some types of therapy, the T's job is to create a feeling of safety and trust for the client, so the client ccan "open up" w/o fear of ridicule, judgment, cruelty, etc. If you told your T you felt valued and safe with her, I think she'd be pleased! It means she's doing her job.

And that's all part of building that foundation of security within yourself. I'm really kind of envious that you have that feeling of safety in your T r/s. I did, but lost it, and I don't know if I'll ever get it back. Oh well.

I don't know anything about EMDR, but it sounds like you're doing well and making progress. Soldier on!!!
