What is EMDR tapping?

RESOURCE TAPPING. Resource Tapping is an EMDR-related technique that is effective and easy-to-use for ego strengthening, affect regulation and stress reduction. This technique can be used to help rebalance the nervous system, activate the parasympathetic restoration cycle, and teach self-regulation.

Can EMDR be done with eyes closed?

New studies suggest, however, that they do. In a January 2011 study in the Journal of Anxiety Disorders, for example, some patients with PTSD went through a session of EMDR while others completed all the components of a typical EMDR session but kept their eyes closed rather than moving them.

Is EMDR and tapping the same?

This is often the first question I am asked about EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing). The answer is, no, it is not ‘the tapping therapy’. The real ‘tapping therapy’ is EFT – emotional freedom technique. Although, incidentally, sometimes forms of tapping are used in EMDR.

How do EMDR tappers work?

TheraTappers use alternating bilateral stimulation (ABS) of the brain to achieve EMDR. This mimics REM sleep by stimulating bi-lateral eye-movements, which changes maladaptive neural networks. In essence, it facilitates communication across the two hemispheres of the brain to help process traumatic events.

Is EMDR tiring?

What is a Thera Tapper?

A TheraTapper™ provides alternating bilateral stimulation (ABS) for DNMS and EMDR therapy. It consists of a control box connected to two small (hand-holdable) pulsers by six-foot wires. The pulsers vibrate in an alternating fashion to provide a gentle tactile stimulation which many find soothing and relaxing.

How do you do bilateral tapping?

You put your right hand on your left shoulder and your left hand on your right shoulder. Then, you alternate gently tapping each shoulder in a consistent rhythm or pattern. Bilateral stimulation has been used for a very long time in different ways because it is found to be soothing to the body.
