EMDR Therapy and OCD
Manage episode 345755618 series 3410749
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and related disorders can take an emotional toll on those who cope with and manage the symptoms daily. Although scientists cannot determine a cause for OCD, they have found that trauma and OCD commonly occur together. Many psychiatrists are beginning to find most OCD treatments remain unsuccessful if a patient’s past trauma has not been addressed. EMDR therapist Dr. Kendhal Hart discusses how she uses EMDR therapy with clients who have OCD.
