A member asked:

Rape victim and attempted murder survivor needs help, where would you point them to?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Call a local rape : Crisis center or find a psychologist or therapist trained in treating trauma, especially one with training in eye movement desensitization & reprocessing (emdr). Post-traumatic stress disorder (ptsd) is treatable with emdr & with cognitive-behavioral therapy.

Dr Jacobson and another doctor agreed
