Line One: Eye Movement Desensitization and Processing
Trauma is defined as an event or a series of events that threatens physical injury or death and causes feelings of extreme terror and helplessness. About 20% of people who experience trauma will develop PTSD. It is as if the traumatic event gets locked in place, as if it is still happening. Feelings of panic and fear, hypervigilance, isolation, depression, and substance abuse problems are common outcomes for people experiencing PTSD. One Approach for treating PTSD is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). On the Next Line One, Trauma survivor Michael Baldwin, and Dr. Deborah Korn Will join Line one Host, Prentiss Pemberton to discuss their new book “Every Memory Deserves Respect”.
