Hi Gaze,
My T used cognitive therapy for my past early trauma to desensitize the memories using EMDR. I have been in therapy for over 2 years and normally people with just a single issue can quit therapy maybe in a short time, but my T said I had more "fires" to put out and it would take longer. He told me he would work with me for as long as it takes to help me as long as therapy is being helpful. But my T is in a private practice and he has control over this where maybe a center has to follow srict guidelines on the amount of time.
My T uses CBT and we dove into my past, we had no choice in order to EMDR. I think every T does things different, so I would ask your T about it because if he is CBT, it doesn't mean he won't work on the past. Good Luck!
