Trauma is defined as an event or a series of events that threatens physical injury or death and
causes feelings of extreme terror and helplessness. About 20% of people who experience
trauma will develop PTSD. It is as if the traumatic event gets locked in place, as if it is still
happening. Feelings of panic and fear, hypervigilance, isolation, depression, and substance
abuse problems are common outcomes for people experiencing PTSD. One Approach for
treating PTSD is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). On the Next Line
One, Trauma survivor Michael Baldwin, and Dr. Deborah Korn Will join Line one Host, Prentiss
