I am in therapy with a non-trauma therapist, who does have experience with trauma, she says. She can do EMDR.
After she "discovered" my trauma I asked her about EMDR again, but she said
that itīs only used for one time things like... and then she told me about this story about one of her patients and that she was in an accident and so on.
Iīm traumatized by my father being diagnosed, suffering from and dieing from cancer and the home situation around it all.
She says that it canīt be used for that.
But Iīve read a few times that EMDR is not just for that but can be used for ongoing things that went on for a period of time eg living with an alcoholic parent etc.
Is there a possibility to stay with my therapist and get trauma related help from somewhere else? maybe some kind of different therapy, with someone thatīs specialised on it, I was thinking some kind of body work or something.
Or EMDR with someone else.
