I asked my T about EMDR and why it is not suited (yet). It's not that EMDR is totally impossible for DID, she told me that they also work with EMDR, in the center where I had an intake. It should be well thought about, why it can be used? and whether it will work....so that the client does not again can be 'traumatized'

My T explained that EMDR needs a 'focus' a clearly defined goal / trauma where you will be working on. In my case there is not one but multiple infantile trauma, in that way that it is in various fields. That makes it complex for EMDR. Suppose we focus on CSA with EMDR, it can call up emotions, which are similar for an other trauma. Another part that has to do with that trauma, can get into 'trouble'. Therefore it is at the present not yet suitable for us.

We must first be stable and see who is connected tot which trauma and which intensity. Also because I easily get triggered in everyday life.
For now EMDR is not appropriate for me, but in the future it can change and work.
