Research on using HeartMath with trauma victims

There are currently three independent studies underway on this subject. In addition, there are thousands of clinical psychologists and other mental-health practitioners in the United States and abroad who are using the HeartMath tools with their clients. A good number of these practitioners have used the HeartMath interventions to help trauma and abuse victims and people suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We have received positive reports from psychologists using HeartMath in this context: They say the tools can be a very effective means of achieving therapeutic release without re-traumatization and that they often shorten treatment time.
