One or more traumas can lead to chronic anxiety and depression, as well as problems with thinking and functioning. EMDR is a ground-breaking treatment technique which has helped many victims of trauma, including first responders affected by the tragic attacks in Oklahoma City and New York, Vietnam and Iraq service veterans, and victims of violent crimes and domestic abuse. Many who have suffered single or repeated trauma in childhood have been helped by their treatment with EMDR. For more information on this highly effective approach, go to www.emdria.org.
