Thanks for that , that's interesting and refreshing. I do EMDR with an adjunct T and do very well with it , I admit to being quite a fan ( I'm on the second round of it ) and I'm supported by regular T. EMDR T is also trained in CBT and we use trauma focussed CBT and mindfulness as well. He describes the CBT part of Trauma Focussed CBT as if something triggers the trauma that this is " different " not the same and the person is safe now , rather than the " negative thinking " which is often pushed ( and would have me killing a T within 5 minutes and would be re-traumatising ). Here in the UK it's a big thing and the woeful NHS has its targets to see people in a certain time , give them " something " - even if its not the right thing and then " Well , you should be all better now - have a nice day ! ". l know some people do well with what I consider to be properly applied CBT where its accepted that things come from the past , not " Make a plan to get out of the house 3 times a week and you SHOULD feel different " You don't feel different ? - It's your fault - you've failed.
