Yes, when I consider my screwed my childhood, traumatic doesn't even seem a powerful enough word to cover it.
I had never heard of EMDR and googling it, what you have said makes alot of sense.
As you may know, here in Britain the National Health Service deals with cases like mine and they usually follow a set pattern of counselling (6 hour long sessions), CBT and/or medication.
I am going to keep EMDR in mind because it may be available as something I could pay for, so thank you for that.
I am currently waiting for my DBT sessions to start. I am aware that DBT helps anorexics and self harmers so it does sound effective and promising.
I rarely go out of the house so hopefully I will not have any dreadful encounters until that starts, and it is possible my wife will drive me to the sessions.
