One of our DUer friends needs help for his friend

[omega minimo]

who is in a wheelchair. Recently someone broke into her house and sexually assaulted her.

Can this forum help with ideas/resources to refer them to in dealing with this outrage?

Thank you.

3. I had eye movement desensitive therapy and it really helped. Now I can do it by myself.

Think of the traumatic event that causes you emotional pain and then either move your eyes back and forth or in a circle, (look to the right, then up right, over left, down left, down left over right)

I try to do this on a regular basis even when I am not thinking of anything bad. After moving my eyes around for a few times I notice I feel a sense of relief. The native Indians did it. They even have a name for it but I can't remember it.
