It is your therapy and you are right to ask about the things that you feel would help you. Is your therapist certified in EMDR? As a therapist myself, I know how to do EMDR and I did it when I was an intern and working under a supervisor who was certified in EMDR. Until I get certified in EMDR, I'm not sure that I would do it on my own without access to a qualified supervisor. So that is another thing to ask about. You might ask if you can get a referral to a therapist who is EMDR certified, for specific trauma work. I have done that too - both giving a referral to a client and seeing two therapists, my regular therapist and an EMDR therapist. My trauma was multiple traumas like yours, and the EMDR therapist believed that EMDR was appropriate and it was something that I wanted to try. I've seen it work very well for my clients, but my clients had specific traumas to work on, or maybe even several of them but they were able to identify specific instances. My experience of EMDR was less satisfying. I was not able to zoom in on one specific trauma at a time, and didn't really experience much change through EMDR. But that doesn't mean that it won't work for someone else.

EMDR is only one way of treating trauma. EFT is another to look into, as well as Tapas (tapping or acupressure). These are all physical ways to work on trauma and you can do EFT and Tapas on your own - there is information online about them. Trauma work is hard, and you need to make sure that you have support from someone you trust, and you will probably need more rest than usual, and be sure to drink water too. My clients often needed to sleep after doing EMDR work. There are also ways that talk therapy helps with trauma, including Trauma-Focused CBT, Cognitive Processing, and most therapy methods have a way of addressing trauma. You could have a discussion with your therapist about what methods she uses and how they work, and anything else that she would recommend.
