Hi rsk,
sorry you're going through that.
I found TAT especially healing for trauma. I worked on various heavy-duty trauma with it.
I had done some telephone work with a lady who does energy-work/healing. Worked on my Mom's illness & death (which happened when I was in my early 20's, decades ago). I have done very little grieving about Mom (we had a really close relationship & grieving or FEELING it was just too overwhelming for me). With the work I did with TAT (using the various 'it' statements) I felt a huge lightening in myself & now, can touch on the feelings that are left & that are WAY lighter than the originals.
That's the method that's on www.tatlife.com
I like the method, because one doesn't get re-traumatized. One might feel a bit of a 'wave' of something flowing through oneself, but I just breathed & it was NOT really heavy-duty. If your trauma is super-duper heavy-duty, I'm not sure about doing the TAT yourself. I suspect there's an email address on the site, which you could email to ask any questions. I'm here for any questions also.
hugs, Kath
