Angrier/more Trust issues after starting EMDR

I have been with my current therapist about a year and really like her (but I am very slow to trust/open up) we figured out I have CPTSD early on.

We started EMDR a couple sessions ago (did other modalities before). The first time I felt like nothing happened (struggles to stay grounded/focused). The second time I connected way more with the memory and cried in session (same memory so far in both sessions).

Ever since that second session (~3 weeks), I have been feeling very angry and struggling to trust even close people in my life. My therapist didn’t do anything wrong but. I suddenly really want to quit with her and some of the anger I’ve been feeling seems directed at her (for no logical reason I can think of).

Has anyone else struggled with anger and trust after starting? Did it go away/get better?
