EMDR for children
EMDR
EMDR is effective and well supported by research evidence for treating children with post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD), attachment challenges, disassociation and self-regulation.
It has also been effective in treating symptoms related to anger, guilt, low mood, and anxiety and can be used to boost self-confidence.
The World Health Organisation recommend two psychotherapies for children, adolescents, and adults with PTSD - cognitive behavioural therapy and EMDR.
