I talked about EMDR with my therapist, but did not pursue it. What I did was use one of the techniques on my own.
The technique I am talking about is alternating body parts, like walking or tapping with one hand and then the other. Doing that while thinking (carefully) about some painful things helped me let go of some of the pain.
I still struggle with my stuff and I hate the way it hampers me, but therapy did help me deal with things that I couldn't on my own and I am glad about that.
I hope you make good use of the skills you learned.
