Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a serious mental health condition that can develop after a person has experienced a traumatic event. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and uncontrollable thoughts about the event. 

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy technique that has been shown to be effective in treating PTSD. During EMDR therapy, patients recall traumatic memories while focusing on external stimuli like hand movements or sounds, which can help process the trauma in a new way.
