Yes ...I have cPTSD, bulimia, self harm, past suicide, suicidal thoughts, emotional flashbacks.....oh such fun. I sought out an EMDR therapist and it did wonders for looping memories and thoughts that caused sleep problems and flashbacks. It did not solve everything but eased some suffering. Oh I am still Bulimic.....
EMDR could not cure that. Still get triggered and have emotional flashback. Still have issues but my quality of life is 10x better. cPTSD is a attachment disorder and a personality disorder so i have read.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
