NCT03271437

Brief Summary

This study will test the eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) based Flash technique and a progressive counting (PC) based variant. EMDR-trained therapists will be trained in the standard Flash, and PC-trained therapists will be trained in PC Flash. In each group they will try it with a minor upsetting memory, and then with two more significant upsetting memories. Participants will use the subjective units of distress scale (SUDS) to rate distress pre- and post-treatment.
