Re:could i ask a couple questions please?

I can say some general things that might apply to anyone. HEre goes....

It's not at all unusual for EMDR to bring up strong feelings. The therapist is supposed to make sure that those strong feelings won't be utterly overwhelming though, by careful screening. For people with a history of memory problems related to trauma, we already know that one has to go slow and do some careful strengthening first, and some other groundwork.

It is also not unusual for clients to get their feelings hurt or be otherwise shocked by something a therapist says --and sometimes the therapist meant somjething quite different from what the client heard. The only way to know is to talk to the therapist.

It is not unusual for clients to feel that a particular therapist or therapy isn't a perfect fit, and needs to change gears to a different approach, or sometimes going back to a therapist and talking things through can resolve misunderstandings.

You might read the history of this forum to see if other people reports experiences like yours.

Good luck to you in your journey of recovery.
