There Is a Treatment to Deal With the Terror

Re “When Terror Comes Along for the Ride,” July 24:

Thousands of people who suffered from phobias, anxiety, panic attacks and fear have found lasting relief from these paralyzing, life-restricting symptoms through eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), a cognitive-behavioral form of therapy.

The creator of this modality, Francine Shapiro, has been honored by the American Psychological Assn. for her significant contribution to the field of psychology.

There is hope and help. Over 20,000 licensed psychotherapists worldwide have been trained in the use of EMDR.

Frequently in one to three EMDR sessions with a properly trained psychotherapist, people can attain permanent relief from painful and crippling symptoms and regain the ability to move freely in the world. For more information and/or to find an EMDR trained psychotherapist, contact Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing International Assn. at (512) 451-5200 or on the Web at https://www.emdria.org.
