Narcissistic abuse - what type of therapy

[springhassprung24]

What type of therapy is best for someone trying to heal and move on from narcissist abuse?

I'm the younger sibling of a narcissist. I've been the scapegoat all my life (I'm 39). Parents supported sibling and never helped me.
I am genuinely traumatised and cannot move past some of what has happened.
A recent bereavement seems to have brought everything to the surface. I can't sleep and I am drinking a lot. I have tried antidepressants but they didn't help.

Can anyone recommend the best type of therapy

As a remedial hypnotist I work with trauma and this is how I describe it;

When something bad happens, a part of our mind gets the job of working out why it happened so we can work out how to avoid a similar event in the future.

However, when we suffer a traumatic event (or a series of events, as in your case) in our lives - especially early trauma - there isn’t always an answer to that question. Trauma can be so unexpected and undeserved that in truth we didn’t do anything wrong to cause it, and certainly couldn’t have avoided it.

The need to make some sort of sense of the experience can often lock us into that moment. A part of our subconscious becomes unable to move on until we can fully understand it and put it to rest in our minds.

Both remedial hypnosis and EMDR are very effective at unlocking the mind and putting the memory of the trauma where it belongs - in the past and not part of your future.
