I've heard some good things about EMDR from those who've had it done on them. The idea of EMDR is exactly that of being in two time zones at the same time. You basically are made to process the traumatic event or events by recalling them in such way that you don't leave the present situation. You are able to recall events while being aware of where you are right at this moment, which makes the recollection process safe. During the procedure you are listening to a bilateral sound that goes from one ear to another back and forth, which is what keeps you in the present and what presumably builds the connections between two hemispheres of the brain. As a result, you should be able to recall the events in the future without fear or any strong emotions attached. This, again, is what I've heard people say about the procedure, but I haven't experienced it personally, so I would neither recommend it nor discourage from trying. This is just an info. You may want to talk to your T about it.
