Back to EpisodesEMDR Therapy Hinders Justice for Trauma Victim
Description
Katie Bird, a junior doctor, underwent EMDR therapy to process traumatic memories from her teenage years. The therapy helped her handle flashbacks and speak to police, but the case was dropped due to concerns about the admissibility of her evidence. Katie felt betrayed, as EMDR doesnt alter facts but reduces overwhelming emotions. Experts argue that EMDR is as effective as other PTSD therapies and doesnt create false memories, urging prosecutors to update policies for victims justice.
