I’ve learned some of my issues might revolve around previous trauma too. That’s also why I’d be interested to know how it goes. Keep us updated.

I’ll try to remember to come back and report on it, but my first appointment is still four weeks away—the therapist’s schedule is full and I was so grateful he responded to my request—I don’t want to put too much pressure on it but have heard wonderful things
I have found EMDR helpful to process moments of trauma, some being sexual.
One of my traumas was realizing as a child that my father was not circumcised yet I was. I felt betrayed and uncared for.
So yes EMDR can be a good resource.
