Dialogue: 0,0:00:22.79,0:00:24.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Ladies and gentlemen,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.24,0:00:28.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you will probably wonder why I,\Nas a development economist,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.01,0:00:31.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,am here today to talk\Nabout treating trauma.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.56,0:00:36.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's because I've come\Nto see that trauma is
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.55,0:00:43.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not only a huge global problem\Nof truly epidemic proportions
Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.66,0:00:49.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but traumas also have a devastating impact
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.31,0:00:52.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on human development,\Neconomic development,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.60,0:00:56.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and even on the possibility of peace.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.81,0:01:01.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Given the importance of trauma worldwide,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:02.00,0:01:08.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's actually rather surprising\Nto see the invisibility,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.42,0:01:12.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's almost like the problem is hidden.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.26,0:01:20.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In fact, most traumas worldwide\Nremain unrecognized,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.46,0:01:25.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,undiagnosed, and therefore untreated.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.57,0:01:29.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's particularly true\Nfor the developing countries.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.74,0:01:33.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm here today to make a plea,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.12,0:01:36.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to make available treatment services
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.96,0:01:42.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to the hundreds of millions\Nof people worldwide who are in need,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.12,0:01:45.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and to do so not in small doses,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.84,0:01:48.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but rather as a quantum jump.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.46,0:01:52.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I believe that that is now possible\Nfor the first time in history,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.08,0:01:56.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with a new treatment called EMDR,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.45,0:02:01.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for Eye Movement\NDesensitization and Reprocessing.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.03,0:02:05.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Ladies and gentlemen,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.57,0:02:10.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I have this picture on my desk at home,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.06,0:02:16.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to remind me of the human face of trauma.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.06,0:02:21.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Look at this man's eyes,\Nlook at the anguish,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.58,0:02:24.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the vulnerability, the hopelessness.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.74,0:02:30.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I first came to realize\Nthe importance of trauma,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.87,0:02:35.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when I was UNICEF representative\Nin Bangladesh in the 1990s.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.56,0:02:38.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I was pondering
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.01,0:02:42.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the development challenges\Nof the country,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.61,0:02:49.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,its grinding poverty, their regularly\Nrecurring natural disasters;
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.67,0:02:54.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they've just gone through\Na punishing war of liberation.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.96,0:02:58.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I could not believe\Nthat anyone in that country
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.88,0:03:03.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,had actually been able\Nto escape being traumatized
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.84,0:03:07.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because the signs\Nand the sources of trauma
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.08,0:03:09.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,were everywhere to be seen.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.55,0:03:19.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I was wondering what can we do\Nabout a problem at such a large scale.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.12,0:03:22.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The answer came to me rather unexpectedly.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.83,0:03:27.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was taking a brief sabbatical\Nin San Francisco,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.84,0:03:30.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was in a book store,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.42,0:03:34.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and inexplicably, my hand reached out
Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.34,0:03:38.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to a book with the title EMDR.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.10,0:03:42.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'd never heard of EMDR, I didn't know\Nwhy my hand was doing this.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.55,0:03:45.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Nonetheless, I sat down\Non the floor, began to read,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.83,0:03:49.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and about an hour later when I reemerged,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.27,0:03:55.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I realized that I had just read
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.02,0:03:58.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about a treatment facility,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.37,0:04:03.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a treatment modality,\Nthat was rapidly scalable,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.61,0:04:08.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that was very effective\Nin treating people
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.03,0:04:09.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in a very short period of time.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.59,0:04:12.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that was exactly the kind of treatment
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.78,0:04:15.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we could very well use in Bangladesh.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.72,0:04:20.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I called the author,\NDr. Francine Shapiro
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.95,0:04:24.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,- who also is the developer of EMDR -
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.83,0:04:28.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I asked for an appointment,\Nand the next day, I was in her home
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.16,0:04:32.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,negotiating a contract for EMDR trainers\Nto come to Bangladesh
Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.48,0:04:36.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and to begin to treat\Nthe many people there.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:36.97,0:04:39.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The training would be given
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.60,0:04:46.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to the 54 Bangladeshi psychologists\Nand psychiatrists in that country.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.96,0:04:50.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that way I learned first hand
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.54,0:04:55.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about the amazing,\Nalmost magical effectiveness of EMDR.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.74,0:05:04.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Most of you probably have heard\Nor know someone,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:04.74,0:05:07.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who has been traumatized,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:07.33,0:05:12.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,perhaps even suffer from PTSD,\Npost traumatic stress disorders.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.41,0:05:15.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In fact, statistically speaking,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:15.21,0:05:19.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there should be a good number\Nof you here in this audience
Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.22,0:05:22.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who actually have suffered PTSD yourself.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.04,0:05:30.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The PTSD symptoms include three sets:\Nthe first is the hyper-arousal,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:30.74,0:05:34.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that means you can't sleep,\Nyou can't concentrate very well.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.68,0:05:39.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There is also easily being angered,\Nor getting into a panic,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:39.15,0:05:42.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or even feeling\Nintense feelings of hatred.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.95,0:05:47.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then there is the reliving\Nof the traumatic event,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:47.41,0:05:50.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that comes in nightmares,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:51.77,0:05:54.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,invasive, intrusive flashbacks.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:55.70,0:05:58.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And thirdly, there is\Nthe avoidance and numbing,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:58.86,0:06:04.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you avoid any situation\Nthat reminds you of the traumatic event.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:04.97,0:06:07.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You avoid certain relationships.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:08.04,0:06:11.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And there is also the growing
Dialogue: 0,0:06:11.57,0:06:14.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,distrust of anyone around you,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:14.100,0:06:17.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your isolation, the hopelessness,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:17.96,0:06:21.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that can go all the way\Nto outright depression.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:22.83,0:06:24.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, from these symptoms,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:24.96,0:06:31.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you can see that PTSD is\Na very severe and disabling illness
Dialogue: 0,0:06:31.61,0:06:35.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that has very serious consequences
Dialogue: 0,0:06:35.32,0:06:39.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for both the ability to learn,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:40.66,0:06:42.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the creativity of people,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:43.48,0:06:47.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the productivity,\Nand the general well being.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:47.29,0:06:49.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There is also new evidence to show
Dialogue: 0,0:06:49.90,0:06:54.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that if people have suffered\Neven a minor trauma
Dialogue: 0,0:06:55.35,0:06:58.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there are heightened chances there
Dialogue: 0,0:06:58.23,0:07:02.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that you would get ill\Nwith substance abuse,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:02.51,0:07:07.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with cardiac conditions,\Nand even with cancer.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:08.13,0:07:11.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's a saying that says\N"Violence begets violence."
Dialogue: 0,0:07:11.79,0:07:14.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What we don't often realize is
Dialogue: 0,0:07:14.71,0:07:20.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that the trauma is the 'trait d'union'\Nbetween violence and violence.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:20.89,0:07:24.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because, if somebody gets traumatized
Dialogue: 0,0:07:24.51,0:07:28.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as a result of violence,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:28.30,0:07:31.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then that person is at a heightened risk
Dialogue: 0,0:07:31.48,0:07:37.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of himself or herself\Nbecome a perpetrator of violence.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:37.00,0:07:40.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's actually\Nquite a scary understanding.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:42.35,0:07:45.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If PTSD is left untreated,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:45.03,0:07:48.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then it will last a life time.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:50.09,0:07:51.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Ladies and gentlemen,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:52.70,0:07:55.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we don't have\Na very good statistics worldwide,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:55.23,0:07:57.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about trauma and PTSD.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:57.71,0:08:00.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But if we look at the number of people
Dialogue: 0,0:08:00.47,0:08:04.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who are exposed to\Ntraumatic circumstances and events,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:04.79,0:08:07.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we may be able to get\Nan order of magnitude.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:07.80,0:08:10.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For example, take a look\Nat these numbers here.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:10.80,0:08:14.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They're all taken\Nfrom authoritative sources.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:14.54,0:08:18.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1.5 billion people worldwide live
Dialogue: 0,0:08:18.16,0:08:22.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in situations of political\Nand criminal violence.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:22.17,0:08:27.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That includes the Syrias and the Congos,\Nand Somalias, and all the other countries.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:27.82,0:08:30.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then 42 million people worldwide
Dialogue: 0,0:08:30.55,0:08:34.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are either refugees\Nor internally displaced people,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:34.78,0:08:39.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and displacement itself\Nis a big risk factor for trauma.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:39.01,0:08:45.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Some 200 million people have been exposed\Nto natural disasters in 2011 alone.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:45.84,0:08:50.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so, this becoming an annual feature
Dialogue: 0,0:08:50.46,0:08:54.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the global climate change
Dialogue: 0,0:08:54.14,0:08:56.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,more and more people getting traumatized.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:56.91,0:09:01.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then some 1.3 billion people\Nare living in absolute poverty.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:02.96,0:09:06.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't think that we can imagine\N[more] traumatizing circumstances

Dialogue: 0,0:09:31.46,0:09:34.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Most of these traumas\Nare called Big "T" traumas
Dialogue: 0,0:09:34.37,0:09:39.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because they are the results\Nof extreme events.

Dialogue: 0,0:09:49.25,0:09:55.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they are caused by\Neveryday traumatizing events,

Dialogue: 0,0:10:32.24,0:10:37.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thankfully, humans are,\Nby and large, remarkably resilient
Dialogue: 0,0:10:39.25,0:10:42.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and usually, after traumatic experience
Dialogue: 0,0:10:42.38,0:10:48.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,get better all by themselves\Nwithout any medical or psychological help.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:49.25,0:10:50.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If we took
Dialogue: 0,0:10:52.70,0:10:56.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the PTSD prevalence,\Nlife time prevalence of the United States,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:56.87,0:10:58.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is between 7 and 8%,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:58.79,0:11:03.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we apply that number\Nto the world as a whole,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:03.05,0:11:08.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we would end up with\Nat least 500 million cases of PTSD.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:09.28,0:11:14.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's like the total population\Nof the European Union.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:14.59,0:11:19.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the question could be asked:\N"Is this problem not too big to tackle?"
Dialogue: 0,0:11:19.86,0:11:22.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think a mere 30 years ago,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:22.90,0:11:24.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I would have said,\Nyeah, this can't be done.

Dialogue: 0,0:11:28.47,0:11:33.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But today I think, with EMDR,\Nwe actually have a good chance.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:33.14,0:11:35.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In a way, I believe that, you know,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:35.52,0:11:38.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this is not rocket science\Nto begin to deal with this problem,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:38.96,0:11:41.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even at that very large scale.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:41.77,0:11:43.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How does EMDR work?
Dialogue: 0,0:11:43.73,0:11:48.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,EMDR resolves the emotional distress,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:48.14,0:11:51.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but the precise mechanism is probably
Dialogue: 0,0:11:51.87,0:11:56.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a good topic for the next TED talk.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:57.75,0:12:00.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Meanwhile, let me just say
Dialogue: 0,0:12:00.74,0:12:05.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that the psycho-neuro\Nphysiological processes
Dialogue: 0,0:12:05.60,0:12:10.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that lead to the healing\Nare set in motion by bilateral stimulation
Dialogue: 0,0:12:10.60,0:12:14.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that is usually\Nrapid eye movement, from left to right.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:14.93,0:12:19.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It seems as simple and magical as that.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:19.50,0:12:24.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As soon as that process has happened,
Dialogue: 0,0:12:24.78,0:12:29.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the trauma memory is healed
Dialogue: 0,0:12:29.56,0:12:33.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and all the symptoms of PTSD disappear.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:34.74,0:12:37.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And they disappear for good.\NThey won't come back.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:37.74,0:12:40.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And all of this can be done\Nin a matter of few sessions.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:40.95,0:12:43.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is why the World Health Organization
Dialogue: 0,0:12:43.29,0:12:47.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,recently gave official recognition to EMDR
Dialogue: 0,0:12:47.49,0:12:52.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as one-evidence based\Nand scientifically validated
Dialogue: 0,0:12:53.48,0:12:56.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,treatment modality for trauma.

Dialogue: 0,0:13:06.20,0:13:10.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,EMDR can treat\Nin a matter of hours and days,
Dialogue: 0,0:13:10.07,0:13:13.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as opposed to the conventional therapy
Dialogue: 0,0:13:13.07,0:13:18.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that took weeks, months,\Nand sometimes years of therapy.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:18.98,0:13:24.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It can also be administered to groups\Nof people not just individuals.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:24.54,0:13:28.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is more easily accepted,\Nbecause unlike the conventional treatment,
Dialogue: 0,0:13:28.90,0:13:30.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you don't have\Nto talk about your trauma,
Dialogue: 0,0:13:30.88,0:13:34.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,people who have been traumatized\Ndon't want to talk about their trauma.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:34.71,0:13:38.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then there's a possibility\Nof using paraprofessionals
Dialogue: 0,0:13:40.58,0:13:46.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to provide services\Nof psychological first aid,
Dialogue: 0,0:13:46.84,0:13:51.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thereby relieving the psychologists\Nand psychiatrists

Dialogue: 0,0:13:55.20,0:14:00.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So based on my profession\Nas a development economist,

Dialogue: 0,0:14:51.25,0:14:57.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I believe that that world\Nwould be a lot less violent
Dialogue: 0,0:14:58.71,0:15:03.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because we would finally begin\Nto interrupt the insidious,
