Me too. My therapist asked me to volunteer for it so that she could get enough hours to be certified in EMDR. While I don't technically have PSTD, I do have some things from my childhood that were traumatic, and EMDR really helped me process through them in a way that talk therapy had not. If your patient hasn't considered it, perhaps that's something you could discuss with him.

As others have stated, your compassion toward this man and desire to help and understand him is admirable.
