I apologize for asking you about the bathing. I focused on what you posted about the therapist and spaced on the fear you're having about bathing.
I agree with Rainbow that EMDR might not be the best option. My therapist was encouraging me to try it...I had mentioned to her several times that I had done EMDR several decades ago when it was a brand new technique. I was not at all fond of the impersonality of the technique. To me, it felt like anyone could have done EMDR with me - or I could do it for myself. There was no therapeutic connection.
The second time my t. suggested it I made it clear that no, EMDR is not something I want to use in therapy. So she dropped it.
