Hi Dinah,
I don't like the idea of you going through something that you might not need to & that might be somewhat traumatic or at LEAST stressful.
I believe that EMDR & EFT did nothing for you.
Until you've tried TAT, I'd say, don't go forward with anything where you have to 'forge through the mudpuddle to get to the dry side'.
I used TAT to work on my Mom's getting cancer & dying of it. I used it for childhood abuse issues.
I hope I'm not being too pushy. It's just that it's such a powerful & gentle thing (plus it's free).
(((((((((((((((((((((((you)))))))))))))))))))))))
I wish I could help you.
much love Kath
PS - in my opinion, witnessing someone being ill like that, or experiencing it oneself can be terrifying for a child - or for anyone for that matter. It's such an "completely out of control" thing to either watch OR feel. I think the only other time I've felt my body be so strongly held in such a powerful uncontrolled experience was when my son was born. I remember comparing it to being sick to my stomach only at the other end.
Let's face it - it is SCAREY. At least in my opinion it is.
The thing I like about TAT is that one doesn't need to be re-traumatized.
