@sundance6 Did you therapist recommend a specific mental health therapist who has the training and expertise in EMDR? That's an important consideration if you decide to try EMDR.

There are other treatments for PTSD that have been shown to be effective too. I have provided a link to a VA website for EMDR but you might like to look around at this website for other treatments too.

There is some research evidence for EMDR. My favorite place to check for the latest information on trauma diagnosis and treatment is the National Center for PTSD at the VA in the U.S. Their information is up-to-date and descriptions and research evidence are provided.

I'd like to suggest one other thing. Have you asked your mental health therapist if they have seen improvement in their clients who have PTSD and completed EMDR?
