Re:parts in control and emdr

I am unclear whether you mean introject work IS parts work or something different?

Second, I am probably using the word happy in a misleading sense. I mean a sense of inner containment and self sufficiency which no longer is directly linked to a denial of the past. There is nothing superficial about the sensation. It is pretty profound, actually... as if I finally accessed some inner strength and am comfortable "owning it".

Lastly, I have't done emdr so it was not that that was so hard. I meant simply that the depression was very awful. And that had not to do with treatment, but with a LACK of treatment. It has improved greatly since I began therapy.

Trauma work will invariably stink, but one can, I hope, return to a place of inner calm in between moments of storm. That was what I meant my question to be about -- how to know when one has achieved a sufficent sense of calm and inner communication to approach such work safely...? I mean, therapists must have some way of screening for this, right?
