ABSTRACT

Tracey was injured when she was knocked off of her bike in a crosswalk by a car that was making a right turn. When I evaluated her two weeks later, she appeared to have suffered only soft tissue injuries, but also she was experiencing a great deal of arousal, irritability, stimulus sensitivity, and sleep disturbance. I prescribed some physical therapy as well as a course of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to deal with her residual PTSD.
