EMDR is effective in treating individuals who have experienced psychological difficulties arising from traumatic experiences, such as assault, motor vehicle accidents, war trauma, torture, natural disasters, sexual abuse and childhood neglect. It is also increasingly used to treat complaints that are not necessarily trauma-related, such as panic disorder, phobias, performance anxiety, self-esteem issues and other anxiety-related disorders. To date, EMDR has helped an estimated two million people of all ages relieve many types of psychological distress. It is rapid, safe and effective. Clinicians have reported success using EMDR in treatment of the following conditions:
- ABUSE · ANXIETY · TRAUMA · DEPRESSION · PHOBIAS
- GRIEF · PANIC ATTACKS · PERFORMANCE ANXIETY
- ADDICTIONS · CONFLICT · ANXIETY DISORDERS
