Guidelines for the management of conditions specifically related to stress

Description

Trauma-focused CBT and EMDR therapy are recommended for children, adolescents and adults with PTSD.

“Like CBT with a trauma focus, EMDR therapy aims to reduce subjective distress and strengthen adaptive cognitions related to the traumatic event.
