Hello, all. I am new here and actually really nervous about even writing. I started going to therapy a year ago to deal wiht anxiety issues and relationship issues with my husband. I went for a few months before stopping for a while when T had a baby. Shortly before stopping then, I finally was able to admit to her that I have some underlying beliefs about myself that are really affecting every other aspect of my life. I just resumed a few weeks ago and we are re-evaluatting that part. I get so terrified when that topic is brought up that I just freeze. She said today that she wants to treat it as trauma since I'm having a trauma response even though there's not a single event that I can point to a traumatic event. I've been researching and now I'm not sure that it really will work. I trust T and am willing to try it, but I wonder if it's really going to work if I don't have an event to focus on. Can EMDR help if the thing I need to focus on is really everything I was taught to believe about myself from childhood?
