My current T is EMDR trained, and we are working to reduce trauma symptoms rather than talking about the abuse. In EMDR therapy it isn't necessary to speak about the traumatic events in order to heal them. Although can if you want to. We were in long term therapy before and I don't think we ever 'talked' about specific abuses, although ex T seems to think we did.

My T tried doing EMDR with me but I didn't find it helpful so we didn't try it anymore.I don't think he was well trained on it though.Talking about everything has been what's worked best for me.Getting traumas out and facing them and trying to work through them the best I can has helped.It's just that it feels like it takes forever to do it.
Your way sounds better,healing without having to talk about the traumas.
