Description:
Certain evidence-based practices for treating individuals, adults and children, with trauma-related symptoms and/or PTSD have been identified and have been found to produce reliable improvements in symptomatology as well as in various aspects of quality of life. In this Part 2 of a two-part series, we examine two evidence-based practices for working with people with PTSD – Prolonged Exposure Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
