I had started with EMDR but it only caused more trauma. I was so not ready for that. Now I am in the same kind you are Monty and it does work well. I have a hard time with trust and connecting in a real way with people, so this is teaching me how to do those things and learning to let me be cared for - learning that I might be a good and valuable person... and that i didn't even have to earn it. My t does both CBT and EMDR but has seen that I am not in a place where I can do those.
