World Trade Center Tower 2 Survivor: EP Treatment of Long-term PTSD. A Case Study

Nicosia, G. · Paper presented at the Tenth International ACEP Conference · 2008

Case series👥 1 participantsPreliminary📍 United States
In plain English. A survivor of the 9/11 Twin Towers collapse, who had years of complex PTSD and self-imposed isolation, went through twelve EFT sessions and was able to return to work with dramatically reduced symptoms. As a single conference case study, it's a compelling anecdote rather than controlled proof.
