i am familiar with dbt cbt neuro feedback for anxiety and depression and other moethods but i dont think any have this high of a succes rate for their respective diseases.

i have no experience with ptsd but found this in my question feed and wanted to see what it was and stumbled across this statistic. you probably already read it- its from emdr.com/what-is-emdr/

More than 30 positive controlled outcome studies have been done on EMDR therapy. Some of the studies show that 84%-90% of single-trauma victims no longer have post-traumatic stress disorder after only three 90-minute sessions. Another study, funded by the HMO Kaiser Permanente, found that 100% of the single-trauma victims and 77% of multiple trauma victims no longer were diagnosed with PTSD after only six 50-minute sessions. In another study, 77% of combat veterans were free of PTSD in 12 sessions. There has been so much research on EMDR therapy that it is now recognized as an effective form of treatment for trauma and other disturbing experiences by organizations such as the American Psychiatric Association, the World Health Organization and the Department of Defense. Given the worldwide recognition as an effective treatment of trauma, you can easily see how EMDR therapy would be effective in treating the “everyday” memories that are the reason people have low self-esteem, feelings of powerlessness, and all the myriad problems that bring them in for therapy. Over 100,000 clinicians throughout the world use the therapy. Millions of people have been treated successfully over the past 25 years.

Hi!

I have been doing emdr therapy for a few weeks now. It truly works. It’s amazing the difference between recalling traumatic memories before and trying to recall the same memory after. I would absolutely advocate for trying it. It isn’t just a one session thing, usually, so stay at it. I know and have read of many people with PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, etc. who have been helped tremendously by this therapy!
