How much has EMDR helped you with your self-esteem?

🟢 Question / Help

I first delved into EMDR about 5 years ago to help with my childhood trauma that stemmed from neglect and psychological abuse, which it has been extremely effective for and I stopped doing it once it helped me process my most hurtful memories, however to this day I recognize that I’m struggling with secure attachment, trust, communicating my needs and a low self-esteem that leads me down the rabit hole of comparison.

I’m thinking to go back to EMDR to work on increasing my sense of self-worth, how much of a change can I realistically expect?
