I have worked with multiple traumas from cPTSD using EMDR for the past year and a half. Although everyone is different, I have found that EMDR has brought up many repressed memories. Odds are good for this with me though since I hardly remember anything from childhood. Almost all of my memories are repressed.
EMDR does NOT however have anything to do with the therapist provoking or suggesting things to bring forth these memories. It is all you, whatever your brain unearths on it's own. EMDR does not even require you to disclose the memories you experience to your therapist.
