Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a mental health treatment modality that typically helps a client process trauma events so they are not as distressing.
I have a lot of traumas but I don't even remember my traumas as that bad but my anxiety is so bad right now even though I almost forgot those traumatic events so can it still work for me ?
@@jetonismaili2836 ofcourse. People think they don't remember but they remember but can't recall. But it's not about remembering the exact same thing that happened in the past, you try to observe when you get the anxiety when you perform a certain task. So it is somehow related to that. Try to resolve it in the present. I am not an expert but i studied this in Dr Gabor mate's book - The myth of normal.
EMDR therapy is amazing for PTSD, CPTSD for all types of trauma. Neurdivergent types may also find it soothing. I use this type of music (bilateral) with positive affirmations to rewire my subconscious.
With the help of God and my therapist giving me EMDR, I was saved from being a 22/day from Combat PTSD statistic a year ago. I think my therapist was a literal angel sent to save my life.
When I did EMDR my therapist had these things for me to hold in my hand. They vibrate bilaterally, and she can control it as well. Honestly EMDR helped more than I thought it would.
It creates trance. That is how EMDR works. The bilateral stimulation or eye movement creates a mild trance or hypnosis state. When you think about a trauma, problem, or wanted belief/emotion when in trance, the unconscious which is always wanting to help heal you, kicks in and begins healing the trauma, resolving the problem or installing the new belief.
I’ve been going to therapy for 8 weeks now. In my last session my therapist told me that the next time we meet I am going to do EMDR therapy for the trauma I went through with my brother when he threatened me. I’ve been through a lot of trauma in the last 22+ years, and I have PTSD from it. She wants to start with the day I got into a serious verbal fight with my brother. She gave me a week off to mentally prepare myself for the upcoming EMDR appointment. I am so stressed about it.
That is poor boundaries on her part. You need to be able to feel safe in your therapy sessions. Nothing should be forced. She is going too fast. Good luck truly ❤❤❤
I’m doing the light board now but feel crazy during the session. Did you have the most random thoughts and memories come up too? I even started counting.
Also, do remember that EMDR should be done with a trained professional & doing bilateral stimulation can be very intense for some of us with trauma, so having a therapist there to help pull you out so you do not fully have flashbacks or re-experience the entire thing again is so important
Actually, listening to bilateral stimulation is not harmful. Therapists trained in EMDR will tell you they want you to practice these techniques including listening to the music to prepare you for actual EMDR where you try to process the trauma differently. You're supposed to practice it when you are calm.....so when you try to process, you can use these techniques to calm yourself while the trauma resurfaces.
This gives me EXTREME anxiety! I absolutely cannot handle bilateral beats. 😢 I wonder why? Does anyone know? It completely freaks me out. I get confused, nauseated, and disoriented. There has to be a reason why this messes with me so badly. I've tried it many times over the past couple of years and it always gives me the same reaction. Anyone know why??? 😢
I felt violent scared, Paranoid and my breathing started to increase. I hated whatever that was. I still feel fear, like I need to be on guard, Someone is coming to kill me. Not sure if the headphones made it worst. 😣
same i hate this song lmao. i get decent results when i just search for "bilateral music healing" there's one with like native american flute and guitar i like a lot
It’s because trained professionals are supposed to introduce it slowly, safely and properly to you. This is dangerous and can send people into a trauma spiral.
That music definitely put me straight into fight or flight mode, couldn't hit the mute button fast enough...now I'm left sitting here all anxious, when I was actually having a fairly decent day. There needs to be a trigger warning on this!
It’s called the Record Player Song, by Daisy The Great Band. Here’s a 1hr loop of this bilateral stimulus song. th-cam.com/video/QTua7_AYUps/w-d-xo.html
Ok I only can see 4, am I getting a shorter video or am I missing what number 5 is because I'm dumb lol. But I love this "song" so much it really makes me calm and I love it.
could you tell more about it? like what is it related to? i realised my "anxiety" was sensory overload and missing body cues such as hunger or fill bladder (i am autistic), or simply being confused/needing more specific info
@@joanna0988, So true, Joanna ! I guess ppl think it’s like having butterflies in your stomach, or similar. But having a full blown anxiety disorder, is the very definition of hell, in my opinion anyway. It’s debilitating, paralysing, extremely painful, and more. I hate it when ppl try to lecture you about it. Take a walk around the block, they say - that’ll help ! 🫣. Who knows. Lots of things may help. However, what would help most, is if somebody empathised with me, listened to me, and took me seriously. In my own case, sit with me, make me a cup of sweet tea, stroke my hair or my back, because physical relaxation has a profound effect. Others, like yourself, may need something entirely different. The key is communication, and helping a sufferer understand that they’re not alone. I hope you’re able to manage your anxiety, and find peace and happiness. All the best to you…. ❣️ (That’s my 2c worth anyway)
I’ll be starting EDMR soon but watching this made me laugh 😂 it looks like fun 😅 My ADHD got triggered watching this lol I actually do this when I stim. I tap and scratch on things lol
i’m doing it right now and it doesn’t seem to be working 😭 i always end up not being able to remember the thoughts before i have to share them, or a song is stuck in my head that overpowers everything else, or i just cant think of anything new.. does anyone have any tips? if it helps i have autism and adhd and i don’t have too many bad memories (that i can remember)
I just lost my cat 💔 I'm having severe anxiety and brain fog I lost my other cat in May. I can't have kids they were my kids I love them all day everyday. Very empty and d alone. I live by myself and have their neurological issues from infections. How can I calm down over stress and anxiety brain fog feel like I can't think. 😭😭😭😭 💕 💕💖💞
best thing to calm down from stress and anxiety is to process rather than repress. allow yourself to grieve, feel sad, angry, hurt, overwhelmed and get it out so you can move past it. that's grieving and eventually after the highs and lows of grieving you will accept and come to terms with what has happened and the anxiety will decrease. you just have to actually let yourself do that first. cry, breathe, and take it one day at a time. i hope you are feeling better ❤️ always talk to your doctor about how to relieve anxiety as things may be different with your neurological issues.
Headphones be like : BOTS WE CANT HOLD IT. nah just make it ring in their ears switching each time so they slowly go into madness until they rip there heads on and want to die 🤓 oh.. SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN TO ME
This is triggering something in me. Idk if it’s my ADHD or something else, but I just started looking in the direction of the music back and forth. Help pls my eyes hurt

Thank you rachel3954
Helps with my PTSD flash backs
EMDR is one of the coolest and most healing things I’ve ever done- it definitely seems strange at first, but it works.
Works for what? This is my first time hearing of this.
PTSD and trauma
I have a lot of traumas but I don't even remember my traumas as that bad but my anxiety is so bad right now even though I almost forgot those traumatic events so can it still work for me ?

@Slasla1610 thank you for your reply it was helpful
My ears: ↪️↩️⤴️🔄⤵️🔃🔂🔁🔀⤵️🔃⤴️↩️↪️↩️⤴️⤴️🔃⤴️🔄↩️↪️
😭 this audio gave me sensory overload
Me too - I feel nauseous now
Yes. I cut it alllll the way down 🙄
Same. I only liked doing EMDR with a therapist and in absolute quiet.
@@mlmartin2922 I was in the car and there were other sounds so this added to it
Yeah I really did NOT enjoy this sound one bit and usually I‘m big on 8D audios but this side to side thing quickly paced is too much…
Watching this to a relaxing show helped me after an intense day thank you!
OMG. My ADHD is attenuated… I so love this!!! It is brain tickles.
This gave me full body chills and made me cry. But it feels good. I think it's working.

Do you maybe have links to the affirmations you are listening to?
Can you do EMDR by yourself or do you need a therapist?
What type of music are you referring to?
How do I find that kind of EMDR music
I love butterfly tapping , it makes me feel secure
So relaxing bouncing back and forth with my eyes and mind
I do Recent EMDR therapy . . It’s been incredibly healing ❤️🩹 to my brain . . Feeling is healing
When I did EMDR my therapist had these things for me to hold in my hand. They vibrate bilaterally, and she can control it as well. Honestly EMDR helped more than I thought it would.
EMDR really works, but Neurofeedback is the real game changer!!!
On letting go we find our grip…. Do nothing ✨
You don't understand the extreme relaxation i felt when doing the clapping on the leg and hearing the audio like damn
My brain feels horribly wobbly listening to this. Like someone is rocking my brain inside my skull 🤢

What are your results?
I hope you are alright, you can do this
@pambrown🙏🏼How are you now, Pam? How did it go?
It’s been a year since your comment, but I’m rooting for you! Do what feels safe.
Where can I find the complete audio for this?? It's soothing until it cuts off and restarts 😔
💯
What a lovely voice !
Not me getting jump scared by the sound
If I focus on it and best I can describe is "chase" it with my mind, it calms/slows my mind down, like being suspended in cool water.
Cured my ptsd! Brought my trauma out that I had repressed at 4 yo. I prefer the light board
I’m doing the light board now but feel crazy during the session. Did you have the most random thoughts and memories come up too? I even started counting.
The butterfly taps were so calming. It was really helpful to just listen to the music and focus on my tapping.
My anxiety & stress listening to this: *evaporates*
- can you tell me what song you are playing - ? - it >immediately< had a (deep) impact on me - thanks - :)
Woahhh this audio! I felt my eyes moving side to side
Am I the only one who’s so relaxed from this it makes me fall asleep? ❤
So interesting! I'm complete overwhelmed by all the stimulation- but I don't do well with caffeine and definitely can'y take regular vold medicines
I love this audio
Also, do remember that EMDR should be done with a trained professional & doing bilateral stimulation can be very intense for some of us with trauma, so having a therapist there to help pull you out so you do not fully have flashbacks or re-experience the entire thing again is so important
I've been raw dogging this sht😂
I'm not well
HELP?
Really kinda fk you for make ng me realize this,! For real

Its beautiful how we naturally do some of these things while stressed too, God is so kind for designing our bodies this way
Dear God I hope this helps me. 😭😭😭 I will be calling my insurance tomorrow to see where I can find an EMDR therapist.
I recently just started doing EMDR with my therapist!
the lfo on the vocal clip is funny. blessings
I can hear this in my eyes 👀 my brain wow. I can see slightly clear I swesr. Wow. 🤩
I just started and its so strange but it works somehow. My therapist is virtual so we do butterfly tapping.
This is the first time i feel my brain is silent
This gives me EXTREME anxiety! I absolutely cannot handle bilateral beats. 😢 I wonder why? Does anyone know? It completely freaks me out. I get confused, nauseated, and disoriented. There has to be a reason why this messes with me so badly. I've tried it many times over the past couple of years and it always gives me the same reaction. Anyone know why??? 😢
You may have an imbalance or hearing problem. Check with a doctor or audiologist.🤔
I just like to rock my head in the direction of the sound bc i can
Same! It switches ears enough to be focusing.
Dudeee my lights just flickered ON BEAT. Im scared 😭😭😭
It made me scared as well
I felt violent scared,
Paranoid and my breathing started to increase. I hated whatever that was. I still feel fear, like I need to be on guard,
Someone is coming to kill me. Not sure if the headphones made it worst. 😣
Agreed. It felt awful for me too (don't know what it means though)
I pulled my headphones out so fast
same i hate this song lmao. i get decent results when i just search for "bilateral music healing" there's one with like native american flute and guitar i like a lot

When i listen ti stuff like this i literally cant stop my eyes from following it
Bro what no wonder this always made me happy wth😂
This tickles my brain
Ohh such a relief❤
This literally made me cry and I wasn’t expecting that at all.
Why?
@@JalapenoSmoothie I have no idea
I feel bad for the comments feeling sick from the audio, I’m enjoying it. It’s got a fast pace, was confusing, but it’s really cool.
When I moved my eyes to the beat I started freaking out
Where can I download this song? What’s it called?
It’s called the Record Player Song, by Daisy The Great Band.

The singer is called Isabella Kensington, they should have credits her for it in the tag I would have thought.
Ok I only can see 4, am I getting a shorter video or am I missing what number 5 is because I'm dumb lol. But I love this "song" so much it really makes me calm and I love it.
Wish this would play for 8hrs straight
When I hear this audio I tap my legs or arms to the words and beats
therapist just recomended to try this next session. its very interesting how it works biologically.
I wont be able to trust the therapist while closing my eyes
Where can I download this one?
my head bobs side to side when I hear this type of stuff
I want more of this type of thing. Prefer it to the calming sounds that I find overdone and unengaging.
I think me and everyone else heard different audios cause it just sounded like a song to me
Name of music i cant find it 😭
😢 Sometimes, I feel like my anxiety is misunderstood by others
could you tell more about it? like what is it related to? i realised my "anxiety" was sensory overload and missing body cues such as hunger or fill bladder (i am autistic), or simply being confused/needing more specific info
It's very hard to understand anxiety unless you have the disorder yourself.

Fantastic!!
This audio physically makes me uncomfortable, its an odd thought that just an audio can tell so much about someone, fun thing to think about!

My brain dances.
What is the track called?
How many times each exercise?
Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for!
Im mad that at your looping point the beat is lost onto the counter beat and i have to start anew
S there a fuld track of this music?
- i hope so - i’d like to know what it is - 🤔
Does anyone know why my EMDR therapist made me do it heeelllaaaa slowly. Like I couldn’t even keep a rhythm. It was frustrating
My eyes dart and my feet tap it’s almost involuntary I’m not sure why this happens
Headphones be like : BOTS WE CANT HOLD IT. nah just make it ring in their ears switching each time so they slowly go into madness until they rip there heads on and want to die 🤓 oh.. SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN TO ME
It's like a ball is moving back and forth from ear to ear. So weird.
It’s awful 😞
@@roxywyndham I wouldn't say awful, it's pretty nice.
Do these audio things make anyone else feel sick like almost motion sickness or just me, if so what does it mean ?
it’s like i’m hearing the audio from one ear to a another it’s weird..
I can wiggle my ears so i just do that to it
I dont known why but i actually find this audio a bit scarring 😂
Tori amos is perfect for this
I am definitely doing the number 1
What is the song or singer
This is too cool
