EMDR Treats PTSD for Veterans.
Cumulative operational disturbing experiences over time can lead to post-traumatic symptoms. These symptoms are psychological injuries that worsen over time without treatment.
If you are a veteran struggling with PTSD, EMDR can help.
EMDR resolves PTSD symptoms like:
-
Flashbacks
-
Intrusive thoughts
-
Hyper-vigilance
-
Hypo arousal
-
Not feeling
-
Feeling too much
-
Anger
-
Depression
Early Treatment ( EMDR) Prevents Worsening of Post Trauma Symptoms.
Getting EMDR treatment for PTSD as early as possible helps prevent symptoms from getting worse. When symptoms worsen, a soldier tries to avoid reminders of the original event(s) by isolating themselves away from friends and loved ones.
