Does anyone have any experience or insight?
My daughter was raped over a year ago, and is still suffering the consequences, which include panic attacks . A phsychiatrist has diagnosed PTSD, and she has been having had quite a bit of CBT and other counselling. Her life is much improved, and she is being safe and happy, yet there remain some problems.
The psychiatrist has recommended a course of EMDR.. Apparently this is now fairly standard, although it is only a while back that its use was controversial. The Cochrane review and WHO both recommend it in these circumstances, so my initial response that it sounds like complete woo is seemingly way off the mark.
If anyone can give me an idea what it entails, and what they will be trying to achieve, or if there is anything negative about the practise, I would be most grateful.
