Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an innovative clinical treatment that was developed to deal directly with the effects of trauma. Since 1988, EMDR has helped over two million trauma survivors. EMDR has been listed as an effective treatment by the American Psychiatric Association, Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs, International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, and numerous international agencies.

EMDR has an impact on intrusive imagery (such as nightmares and flashbacks), numbing, and hyperarousal symptoms of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder,) as well as on associated grief and depression. Fourteen published, controlled studies support the efficacy of EMDR, making it one of the most thoroughly researched methods ever used in the treatment of trauma. (www.emdria.org). Most people treated for a single trauma find relief from post-trauma emotional symptoms within three or four sessions of EMDR. For more information about EMDR, visit www.emdrhap.org.
