EMDR treats PTSD quickly

I was first trained in EMDR 1990 and later taught EMDR at the California Graduate Institute in Los Angeles. EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, is a new, nontraditional, short-term therapy for treating posttraumatic stress syndrome. It involves assisting the client move their eyes back and forth while focusing on the negative experience. I have found it tremendously useful for adult onset PTSD, and have helped clients come to a complete resolution of trauma from car accidents, motorcycle accidents, being held up at gunpoint, victim of a rape attempt, physical assault, and witnessing a murder. It works fast and few individuals require more than 6 sessions for complete recovery. You can read up in great detail at http://www.emdr.com/q&a.htm.
