The FBI has found EMDR to be extremely effective when used on individuals exhibiting symptoms of post-traumatic stress which can be tied to a specific traumatic event. The bottom line as I see it is that it works.

EMDR is a powerful tool in the hands of a skillful therapist. I’ve found it extremely useful in the treatment of the painful aftermath of rape, assault, combat, drug addiction, and the death of a loved one. But I’ve also found it a real help in overcoming the wide variety of less dramatic issues that bring people into my office: overcoming jealousy, envy and the loss of relationships (including divorce), fear of taking a test or fear of an intimidating boss, writer’s and artist’s block, sexual inhibition and a variety of self sabotage.
