I dissociate when my therapist uses any of the trauma terms of abuse, neglect, molested, etc. I desvribe it as hell, crap, etc.
My T is a trauma specialist that I have been seeing for approximately 5 years and doing EMDR most of the time. I know it us a long time but he sats that the more trauma you have lived through, the more you have to work through. I also have DID which complicates things as well and requires us to go very slow.
I have made alot of improvement though. I would say this is equally due to ENDR and daily mindfulness practice.
