How does Bilateral Stimulation (BLS) work in EMDR therapy?
This video by Paul W. Miller, M.D. explains bilateral stimulation (BLS) within the context of EMDR therapy.
Video Description
“How does BLS actually work? We’re here to uncover the science behind this technique. Through a combination of carefully crafted eye movements, taps, or auditory cues, BLS stimulates both sides of the brain, facilitating the processing and integration of distressing memories, emotions, and experiences. By engaging the brain’s natural adaptive processes, BLS helps individuals reprocess traumatic events, leading to significant reductions in distress and the development of more adaptive beliefs and responses.”
