I felt as though I was replaying my early traumas for a long time, while dealing with ET/attachment.

Yes, I agree that is the method of the madness.
But about the point of outdatedness--It was difficult with my trauma history, but I find that method changed my cognitive structure. I don't think of it as outdated at all. Kind of like-people have been eating eggs for centuries. Aren't they still just as useful?
New stuff is often recycled old stuff used to market and sell anyway.
