Trauma is defined as an event or a series of events that threatens physical injury or death and causes feelings of extreme terror and helplessness. About 20% of people who experience trauma will develop PTSD. It is as if the traumatic event gets locked in place, as if it is still happening. Feelings of panic and fear, hypervigilance, isolation, depression, and substance abuse problems are common outcomes for people experiencing PTSD. One Approach for treating PTSD is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
