A 29-year-old female client with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is resistant to eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR) because she has heard that past traumas must be re-experienced. She said she avoids thinking about the trauma and does not want to re-live it. What is the most appropriate response?

"If you don't do EMDR, you'll keep having flashbacks for the rest of your life.”

"Don't you want to get better? This is the only way."

"The symptoms of PTSD you experience are the brain's way of trying to heal from the trauma. Avoidance keeps the trauma alive."

"Don't worry. You won't have the same level of emotion that you felt at the same time you experienced the original trauma."
