What is EMDR Therapy and Tapping?
I spend a lot of time researching and training in alternative therapies, to find new ways to help my therapy clients in Dorking, Surrey and London.
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, an advanced form of psychosensory counselling.
It was first developed by Francine Shapiro, an American psychologist, in 1988.
Francine was walking in a park, struggling with some thoughts she was having.
She then found that she could calm those thoughts by moving her eyes back and forth.
Butterfly Tapping on the arms, back and forth, also known as bi-lateral stimulation, which Prince Harry was seen to be doing
in the Apple TV+ show called "The Me You Can't See," is an evolution of the left-and-right eye movements of the original EMDR.
