I am sad to hear that your attachment has not returned with your T since the last time you posted about it. I understand that your accident was a huge rupture in trust and shocked you into a place of self-sufficiency. I am glad that you still go to her though and use her in whatever support capacity you can right now. It seems heartening, though, that you did feel things with your EMDR T. Do you think that still shows you have the desire and capacity for attachment? Did you not want to pursue with because you would prefer to have that with you T? I can see how having to Ts might lead to confusion.
I was touched by the stories of your various ego states. My T, who does use EMDR on occasion, is gently working me toward a place of creating an integrated, executive me who understands and is compassionate toward all the part-selves and who can direct the internal states toward consensus and making good decisions for all involved. I have serious doubts about ever getting there, but it's a wonderful concept.
I am sorry to hear that you are struggling so much. I hope you keep posting with updates.
