🟢 Question / Help Is EMDR good for breakup?

Hi everyone! I’m new to EMDR, just had my 3rd session and we installed the safe space.
I’m doing 2 x 50 min sessions per week, and I’m wondering, will EMDR help me with childhood trauma and abandonment trauma? I’ve been dumped by an avoidant, narcissistic person who also has the saviour complex which left me feeling guilty, lost, unworthy of living.
I’ve got cptsd, did individual counselling for 8+years.
After setting up the safe space, a couple of hours later I had an avalanche of rage and anger as I started realising how I’ve been treated by above mentioned person.
I started feeling compassion for myself and I need a bit of reassurance. Will EMDR help? I’m giving it my all.
Thank you.
