 Using EMDR without a triggering event?
My therapist is attempting to use EMDR with me, but we're running into a snag.  I'm wondering if anyone can help us.  The little kid in me is filled with terror and pain from something a long time ago.  I have no memories of any traumatic events.  I have no event to use to access my hurt little kid and she's a bit reticent to explode in emotion without some kind of nudge.  Is there any way to access that part of me without a specific event and still use EMDR?  There was one time that I was very vulnerable and on the edge anyway and using EMDR sent me into the experience headlong.  There was no content - only lots of feeling.  I'd appreciate any help possible.  Thanks
