Can EMDR help control complex PTSD

  I really suffer, having survived 9 years of absolute viloence and domination, from a family with a tradition of pediphilia (3 male perpretrators) small and under daily attacks, what are my chances? Does the fact that I was so very young affect my ability to recover, when my brain was mapped out toward violence at such an important stage of brain development?
  Will or can EMDR therapy do what thirty years of traditional therapy has failed to do? I've spent a lot of money and many years in therapy, and still deal with all the issues for which I sought help. I want to pick the most effective therapy I can get. PE or prolonged exposure was a big part of some of that therapy. But I am now 50 years old, and I don't want this prolonged anymore. I'm tired and my condition has deteriated, now to include DID and the shame of not knowing what I did in these disassociative states. The fear and embarrassment of these incidents are worsening my condition. I am now shamed to be me. And the medicine robs me of my life force, been there done that, still do, wouldn't exactly call it medication MANAGEMENT.
  Can EMDR remap my brain in combination with PE? What success rates does this model hold true? OR is there a better mode of treatment? Because it has never been my lack of effort and commitment that failed me, please help guide through this journey?
thanks

Jaquta has given you extremely good advice. I would only add that the success in therapy is very dependent on the therapist and if your therapy has not worked, and you can arrange to meet with an experienced psychoanalyst for a consultation, I think that would be the best approach for you.....

Chance sounds a little like a lottery -not something I would stake my recovery on.

I think that if we are able to be flexible and adapt that the quality of our life will increase.

I think significant early childhood trauma does affect a person's emotional development.

I can't answer about emdr.  My therapist thought that emdr was very effective.  I trust her and her judgment therefore I expect she must have seen some benefit from its application.

For me personally, I have found intensive psychoanalytical psychotherapy the most effective treatment.  My T said that the treatment modality is less important than the therapeutic relationship.  A good therapeutic relationship is what will help foster change.

Have you tried dbt?  Some of the skills may be useful as an adjunct to therapy.
I was listening to a mindfulness meditation cd by John Kabat-Zinn and he said that some people had made more improvement with mindfulness than traditional therapy.
That could be another option.

I am only at the very beginning of my recovery, although it has been some years, and I know that good therapy can make a huge difference.

I have found viewing the personality in terms of splits useful.  It has helped me understand a lot about myself and about my anxiety.
A therapy that addresses early childhood issues (such as splits and emotional development) could be useful.

EMDR is considered one of the best modalities for treating PTSD.  Whether it would work for you or not is another question, unfortunately.
