Since Ts passing I have come to realize, I think, that for me it was about T showing care for me. She knew my struggles and empathized and understood why I drank. I knew there would be regular checkpoints (not ever session). Sometimes, I would have had only minimal drinking to report which felt good and we discussed it Other times when I was struggling I felt shame but also such compassion from her.
Since EMDR is very relaxed and rarely brings it up
