Many years ago I was in therapy with a wonderful psychologist through the veteran's administration. He was one of the first people to train with Francine Shapiro in San Francisco. He was using EMDR with combat vets who had PTSD. My husband was the combat vet, but I had childhood abuse issues that resulted in PTSD. My therapist used EMDR to treat my issues and I found it very helpful. The technique helps you to work all the way through the issue.

I still use EMDR by myself sometimes.
