I went through a lot of sexual and physical abuse as a kid and I am 25 now and EMDR therapy seems to be my last and only option at this time as years and years of behavior and talk therapy have been thrown out the window as they were non effective. I am starting to give up hope on having a normal life again because I can't seem to go a day without something triggering a trauma for me.

Yesterday I was getting my haircut and this little boy asked his mom for a candy bar from the vending machine and when she said no he threw a fit and started crying and that triggered a trauma for me. But when I am at the therapists office trying to recreate these memories like she asks me to so we can get the traumatic feelings to return nothing happens. It has been one month and I feel exactly the same today as the first day I ever walked in her office and she knows this because I have told her.

She has over 20 years experience and I read great reviews about her online but nothing. I hate having to constantly change therapists here it is stating to frustrate me more as the days go by. What do I do here and why is this "EMDR" treatment not working for me whatsoever?
