EMDR and hypersexuality?

NSFW🟢 Question / Help

I’ve been doing EMDR for about 4 months now to address trauma from multiple sexual assaults. I’m married, and the trauma has deeply affected our sex life. I never want to initiate, and I find that I don’t really desire sex between us.

Since starting EMDR, I have an intense urge to masturbate constantly. But I’m finding that I still don’t really want to engage in sex with my wife. Is this normal? I feel like a deviant…or like I’m doing something wrong.
