Thank you. I have been to see a counsellor and found it really useful

she is 31 Something to think about but I think at her age may be that would make me too close to her treatment. I am trying to step back and be more adult to adult with her rather than parent to child. I have been for some counselling myself to try and help me cope and also to try and get ideas...

Thanks again all but I still seem to be going round in circles. I don’t know what to do to help my daughter and she’s doesn’t know what will help. She doesn’t know if the therapy is helping, she doesn’t know if she should take a break from EDMR. She doesn’t want to start all over again with a...
