Over 30 studies have concluded that EMDR does indeed work, and it is now used for treating combat injuries and trauma by the American Psychiatric Association, World Health Organization and the US Department of Defense.
Studies indicate a complete recovery from PTSD for 84-100% of patients who have undergone a single trauma, while 77% of patients with multiple trauma that caused PTSD have been able to recover after six EMDR sessions.
This is record time in therapy, since previously several months or years of treatment were necessary in order to alleviate PTSD and its symptoms.
