Hope this helps. Lots of kids are depressed. Their routines and social supports and outlets were largely eliminated.

Happy Holidays!

This is a great book!! I am reading for weight loss and improved brain functioning!! It’s very motivating and helpful. Dr. Amen addresses brain functioning, psychology, behavior, symptoms, helpful supplements, emotional issues, sleep, exercise and nutrition. He also explains the effects of alcohol, drugs, sugar, caffeine and obesity on the body and brain. I am listening to this book for free on Libby app.

Sharing a demonstration of EMDR. Client is processing a traumatic memory of almost drowning. Be mindful before watching. Bilateral stimulation used are eye movements, whereas I use tactile BLS with buzzers/ tappers clients hold in their hands and buzzing goes back and forth between hands.

I am learning about Brainspotting. There are similarities with Attachment Focused EMDR which I do. The creator of Brainspotting also developed a gentler version of EMDR (natural flow) including the use of Bilateral stimulation (brain based technique for healing) in music instead of beeps, eye tracking or tactile. He calls it biolateral. Trying it out. Sounds healing.
