EMDR Can Be Short Term

Early studies show that 90% of adults dealing with single episode trauma were able to eliminate or significantly reduce their PTSD symptoms in three to four sessions. A study comparing EMDR to Prozac and the treatment of adult PTSD involved eight sessions of EMDR, compared to a comparable period of time on Prozac. And by the end of treatment, all of those in the EMDR group with adult-only traumas had lost their PTSD diagnosis.
