Does EMDR spell healing?

In 1974, Sam (not his real name) joined the Royal Ulster Constabulary, now known as the Police Service of Northern Ireland. The death toll exacted by The Troubles was being ratcheted up daily, topping 1,000 in April of that year. It would double and then triple over the course of Sam’s service, as the country was convulsed by sectarian violence. Corpses, bombings and assault became part of Sam’s routine. “It was like a normal event,” he says, “explosions, killings, being attacked, seeing my friends attacked and even killed.”
