[humanser] EMDR-A type of trauma therapy

Sat Sep 2 12:30:36 UTC 2017

Hello all,

correct. I have clients who can see but prefer me tapping on the tops of their hands, or using the buzzers or headphones with auditory beeps instead of using their eyes to track movements. You can also purchase a light bar which simulates the finger movements for those who do wish to track with their eyes.
Research suggests that eye movements in tapping are the best, but my philophosy is whatever works for the client because it will make them more comfortable and thus be more successful.

Thanks,

Beth
