I am working with a mixed group of adults with post-traumatic-stress-disorder. Since it is my first time with such group I would like to know any clinical or therapy experts what is the most appropriate way to initiate therapy with such groups and if working on the periphery is a better option rather than going to the depth of the trauma.

Hello Jessee,

Hello Jessee, I agree with one of the articles Beatrice posted referencing EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). EMDR Therapy has been my main focus, and is quite intriguing. PTSD being an anxiety disorder caused by traumatic events, it is nearly impossible to empathize with the Veterans being that we may have never been placed in such a conflicting situation. EMDR Therapy allows us the opportunity to understand how they are feeling while also helping the Veterans heal. EMDR focuses on stimulating the brain with vibrations, tapping of the feet or on the thighs, diagonal eye movements and accessing painful memories. By resurfacing these memories, the clients allow themselves to deal with their suppress ed emotions. There is also a scale called the SUD scale which measures the strength of the traumatic memories and emotions. It is very useful and is a beneficial therapy!
Best of luck to you, and please let me know if I can help in any way!
