Yes......it was the one Modality that saved my life I believe and made me a functioning human. They say it can not be used for Complex PTSD but every time I had some kind of episode I like to call going batshit crazy (emotional flashback) he did EMDR around it and sure enough it related back to a childhood issue. It got resolved and then I would not have such an extreme reaction to that stimulus again. It took two years and I am not cured by no means but I am so much calmer and function so much better than I have ever. My therapist also used IFS around issues in conjunction with EMDR and that help also.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
