Hi Tarheelman
I understand your wife's trauma, and the interest in EMDR. You may also want to try and seek out a therapist for some "bodywork" - haokomi or redenfeld methods seem to help a great deal. The sessions can be quite exhausing as they help to release the pent up trauma and anxiety from our experiences.....best wishes to your wife....and to you as well. I am fortunate to have a partner that loves and supports me - be kind, gentle and patient...there is no timeline for recovery and she will experience the rollercoaster ride. It is a part of the healing.
