Can you ask her how she employs/uses EMDR on a practical basis? Like if I go for a walk and do the eyes back and fourth to left and right thing (like REM sleep), is that the secret sauce to EMDR besides havingthe adequate prompt/thought in mind whilst doing so?m
Edit: is the dominant form of intervention CBT with a little EMDR?
She never did it unguided. And the way the therapist did it was different than what I’ve seen online. She would lay down and the therapist had her hold two paddles. One in each hand. The paddles would vibrate or lightly shock her, alternating between left and right. She did this while she was reliving old traumatic moments from her childhood. It was supposed to help process the information differently or something along those lines.
