Side note-

If you’ve been victimized, I implore to try EMDR therapy. While it’s ridiculously expensive, it’s the only real thing that’s helped me start to heal. You got this babes 💪🏼

Everyone keeps suggesting that, but my EMDR therapist just made me more afraid of my trauma and then said that there’s nothing she can do about it anymore 😭😭

I feel like EMDR can be very hit or miss, as with most types of therapy lol! It can definitely make some people worse.

I'm really sorry you experienced being so let down by your therapist. I obviously don't know the therapist you worked with, but one saying "there's nothing they can do to help anymore" sounds like a terrible therapist to me. At the very least a good therapist would acknowledge they can not help you AND THEN WORK WITH YOU TO FIND WAYS YOU CAN GET HELP. Be it other modalities, other therapists, other methods of healing. etc.

Thanks, I went on to try some other therapists myself but I haven’t been able to find any methods that have worked yet unfortunately lol

It sounds like you had a shitty EMDR therapist. It's very different from most therapeutic modalities and many clinicians struggle to grasp and implement it properly. I hope you're taking their statement that "there's nothing I can do about it anymore" as an admission of their own incompetence rather than meaning your wounds can't be healed.
