So is mine - both complex and chronic caused by a horrific childhood and mental, physical, and emotional abuse at the hands my mother that went on until I was well into my 30's.
When I do EMDR, I rarely work on a single event. It's usually a particular feeling I'm having. It helps me to understand where the feeling is coming from and why. Truly amazing stuff has come out of these sessions.
I will never be 'well' or even 'normal', but at least when I feel like you do right now, I usually know why and that helps me cope better.
