I'm using emotional in the strict sense of emotions being experienced, as that is what EPHRA addresses. All of the my mommy wasn't nice/this girl broke my heart/show me where he touched you on the doll/etc. is handled there.
Classifying negativity and procrastination as emotions seems a bit of a stretch from the way I've experienced them. While I suppose either could have emotional bases (which would be addressed by EPHRA), they can just as easily be based in perceived reason and become learned behaviors. When things get worse long enough it's reasonable to conclude they will continue to get worse. When being around people who make feel bad it's reasonable to conclude that continuing to be around those types of people will always make you feel bad. Something can be put off simply because one does not want to do it without any attached emotional trauma, which becomes a habit over time. I speak from experience on all three.
I'm looking at this from the perspective of correcting these types of learned destructive behavior patterns that may or may not be based in emotion, not emotions that may have led to their creation. Clearing the trauma itself doesn't automatically fix all of the bad habits learned as a result of that trauma. Essentially this, EHPRA2 and LTU would together contain all of the building blocks of a healthy psyche, with all forms of self sabotage removed.
