Summary

This study tested a gentle storytelling version of EMDR therapy in 10 preterm-born infants (0-2 years) with post-traumatic stress symptoms from medical care. Parents reported daily symptoms, sleep, and emotional functioning over several weeks. The goal was to see if this early intervention is feasible and can reduce trauma-related distress in very young children.
