EMDR Treats Acute Stress Symptoms caused by Critical Incidents.
Â
EMDR therapy can reduce acute stress symptoms that occur after a critical incident. After an incident like the death of a loved one, or a sexual assault, you might feel like your nervous system is wired. Hormones are flooding your body. This feeling can sometimes go on for several days.
Â
You may complain of the inability to sleep or lose your appetite. You may ruminate about a particular part of the incident over and over again. It may even feel like you are reliving the incident. You may only remember part or none of the incident.
Â
Sometimes people have thoughts like, “it’s my fault,” even if they were the victim of the incident.
Â
EMDR therapy can prevent acute stress symptoms from turning into post-traumatic stress syndrome. If you are looking for relief from acute stress symptoms book an appointment as soon as you can.
Â
The following examples of critical incidents that I treat with EMDR are:
Â
- Accidents
- Car accidents
- Sexual Assault
- Rape
- Sexual Harassment
- Victim of Crime
- Divorce
- Medical Trauma
- Domestic Violence
- Youth or children who have survived an incident
- Survivors of Fire
- Death of a loved one
