An eye on recovery - Hocus-pocus or miracle cure? A controversial therapy called EMDR claims to help victims see trauma - and recovery - in a new light
Description
That was four years ago. Today, Colleen Eliason, 42, is happily remarried and lives in Elko. But in the nightmarish days after the suicide, she turned to St. Paul psychologist Catherine Hedberg, who uses a tool called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) to treat trauma. Since EMDR was introduced to the psychiatric community 15 years ago, it has remained highly controversial. Proponents call it a painless, quick, effective therapy to treat victims of trauma - from social anxiety to war, rape and natural disasters.
