Sounds like you have a good plan. Getting therapy before you plan on becoming a mother is a really great thing. In my case, having children brought a lot of stuff up that I didn't even know was there--it actually got me started on therapy. As my children have gotten older I've realized/remembered certain things that happened to me when I was their age. This has been particularly helpful w/my daughter as I tend to view her as me at that age and I have to be constantly reminded that she's not me, she's a healthy, full-functioning young girl. Therapy has helped me a lot with my kids.
Good luck w/the EMDR. You are lucky to have the same person. I think I'm one of those who have been helped by EMDR but I don't think it's been really dramatic for me (not yet, anyway). But I'm not a dramatic person anyway, I move really slowly through my therapy.
Good luck,
antigua
