I have small traumas called c-ptsd. EMDR can be a traumatic experience in and of itself btw and doesn't work for everyone.

According to studies CBT has a good success rate and depression is one of the most if not the most treatable of mental illnesses. I wish you well. Keep us posted

PS - Also from what I understand if CBT doesn't work with one therapist that doesn't mean it won't work with a different therapist. Everyone has different abilities of relating to clients and specialties.
