El trastorno de estrés postraumático está clasiicado como uno de los trastornos de ansiedad dado como una respuesta patológica a un evento estresante que supone un riesgo físico o psicológico. Corresponde a un problema de salud pública que causa gran incapacidad y diicultades en el desarrollo biopsicosocial de la persona afectada. Actualmente se llevan a cabo diferentes métodos terapéuticos para el tratamiento de dicha patología, dentro de las mas estudiadas y con amplios resultados positivos se encuentra la terapia de reprocesamiento llamada Desensibilización y Reprocesamiento por medio de Movimiento Ocular (EMDR por sus siglas en inglés) basado en estimulación bilateral ocular, principalmente, que otorga al paciente la oportunidad de asimilar el evento traumático transformando su contenido emocional y brindando adaptación e integración de la información y equilibrio físico y psicológico con respuestas adaptativas que permite el desarrollo e interacción normal con el entorno. Con la Técnica EMDR para enfrentar el trastorno de estrés postraumatico, se alcanza que si bien el recuerdo está, ya no hiere.
Posttraumatic stress disorder is classiied as an anxiety disorder characterized for a pathological response to a stressful event that involves a physical or psychological risk. It is a public health problem that causes great disability and dificulties in biopsychosocial development of the patient. Currently, there are different therapeutic methods for treating this disease; the most studied one with positive results is “eye movement desensitization and reprocessing” (EMDR) based on bilateral visual stimulation, which gives the patient an opportunity to assimilate the traumatic event, transforming its emotional content and providing adaptation and integration of information and physical and psychological balance with adaptive responses allowing normal development and interaction with the environment. With EMDR to address post-traumatic stress disorder the memory is there, but it does not hurt.
