I feel like I need to talk to another therapist about how I feel about my therapist and maybe help me work towards finding the courage to talk to him about it if that is something that even needs to be done.
EMDR is hard because you do not do any talk therapy about your week or other things in your day to day life. You find a target, watch the lights, and see what comes up. I leave there with the phrase "go with that" stuck in my head. He feels that will get to the core issues if my "parts" are released from their trauma because they do not know it is 2018 and I am in control of my life. Im not sure I am believing that since those "parts" are just me.

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.
