How Long-Lasting Are the Effects of EMDR for Stress?
EMDR does not guarantee that your Stress will never resurface. However, EMDR has
been shown to be
effective in reducing Stress symptoms, and for many people,
these effects are
long-lasting.
Factors that affect effectiveness include: the nature and origin of stress, your
environment,
lifestyle changes such as exercise and relaxation practices, social
support, and
personal factors such
as resilience.
However, because EMDR addresses the root cause, rather than merely relieving
symptoms, it is often
more effective and long-lasting than other treatments.
