Can anyone tell me some good info about living close to Las Vegas?

I am sorry, I live by Vegas, and it is bad news. I think this town is one of the worst cities in the world. I cannot even take my kids ANYWHERE. I wish I had a positive comment, but I do not.

I have lived in Vegas all my life and its really not a bad town. I live in summerlin, which is a community about 20 minutes from the strip and its an extremely nice area. Its a great area to raise a family. The schools are nice depending on what area youre in but there are definitely good schools. My elementary school, middle school, and high school were all very nice and safe schools.

That’s not the time to increase their level of distress even in the short term. So people have to be medically stable first of all and not going through intense cravings. Secondly you have a lot of general readiness criteria that are used when you consider using EMDR. Have you screened for a disassociative order. If you have some type of a disassociative you are going to need to modify the way you’re approaching with EMDR. There’s work that’s being done in Europe examining this question, some pilot studies have been done with some slightly modified EMDR protocols. In early phase recovery from severe alcohol abuse showing that EMDR can be used in early phase residential treatment programs to decrease relapse rates. So again it’s going to depend how soon is the client …
