Hi burnsbrightsilver

Thank you for your post. I hope some members can post a reply to you, but in this early stage of our community it's possible that nobody has experience of this particular issue.

There is a good explanation of EMDR within the NICE (National Institute for Clinical Excellence) guidelines for treatment of Post Traumatic Stress. You can view the guidelines at this website address: nice.org.uk/nicemedia/pdf/C...

The explanation about EMDR is on pages 15 and 16.

I hope this helps.

Please do contact our helpline if you would like a printed copy of these guidelines. The helpline phone number is 0808 800 22 44.

Best wishes

Headway
