I recently got a new T a few months ago, and I have started to do EMDR, but we need to go much deeper. We mainly have worked on some surface stuff. I don't have DID, but my very first EMDR session, by another T, I did dissociate afterwards later that night ,and that was scary. But it was a catalyst in my changing of my life.

But now I am getting to the nitty gritty. I hope this therapy can help heal my childhood abuse. At least so I am not triggered by current things. My new T is taking things a lot more slow and I am learning how to use my safe place. If EMDR doesn't work well, he is talking about age regression therapy, which sounds scarey to me. But I think I can trust my new T , he is so warm, and I am able to even cry in therapy, but with my old T in 2 1/2 I couldn't cry, in fact I only cried twice and it was beause he hurt me. But I fired him because our relationship was getting too personal. I miss my old T, but I am glad I have my new one.

So I was wondering what kind of therapies you have used for dealing with past abuse? I suppose it is different for everyone. Is there hope?
