I feel like you really get what I put myelf through! I am def. going to pursue new therapy. What your friend did sounds like EMDR, which I tried but it left me worse off. I uncovered some emotional things that filled in a lot of the story for me, but it didn't really help me move on. In fact I felt more emotionally vulnerable for quite a while after it. Maybe the person I did it with wasn't skilled enough, but I've heard from a therapist friend that he stopped using the technique for the very same reason.
