Is EMDR useful for situations that do not involve trauma?
EMDR was developed specifically to address trauma, but recent search has shown it can be effective to address other issues as well. Mood disorders and performance issues may be impacted by using EMDR. In addition, EMDR is effective whether you remember a specific traumatic event or not. If you suffer the effects of PTSD, or have only a vague sense of things that seemed to indicate a level of neglect, abuse, or harm, then EMDR may be helpful.
