I got into real trouble with EMDR. I think that may have activated the other memories. I was seeing the EAU at work after finding my father who had shot himself. Then a deluge of memories flooded my head and it's been that way since. The EAU T was trained in EMDR but from what other T's have told me she may have introduced that to me too soon. So I guess all therapies have pro's and con's , and each client is different. So results will vary.
Thanks for the input though
