EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) Therapy Session 📝 ASMR Soft Spoken RP

EMDR was created to help treat conditions like PTSD, phobias, and trauma. Using different eye movements that you are guided through by following my fingers, EMDR can be a simple—but effective—and safe treatment option for those who have memories or fears that they are stuck in, and helps them work through it and move on. In this *simulated* EMDR session, we are speedrunning through the process a bit and skipping over the initial assessment and grounding techniques, etc, and getting right into what an EMDR session could look like.

THIS VIDEO IS SOLELY FOR RELAXATION. If you are interested in checking out EMDR for PTSD, trauma, et cetera, look for a therapist that specializes in EMDR. It's a lot more widespread than it used to be even just a few years ago. Anecdotally, I've been doing EMDR therapy for 2 years off and on, and it's been wonderful.

Despite being anecdotally therapeutic, EMDR is still classified as a 📢 PSEUDOSCIENCE 📢 From Wikipedia: "Pseudoscience consists of statements, beliefs, or practices that claim to be both scientific and factual but are incompatible with the scientific method." This video is only intended for relaxation purposes, and I'm just an actor on the Internet.

❥ What Is ASMR? From Oxford Languages: "a feeling of well-being combined with a tingling sensation in the scalp and down the back of the neck, as experienced by some people in response to a specific gentle stimulus, often a particular sound. 'ASMR is triggered by things like whispering voices, paper tearing, and scalp massage.'"

❥ I want y'all to have a safe environment here regardless of where you come from, who you love, what you look like, you name it. I don't tolerate discrimination or hatred based on attributes you can't change like where you were born, what color you are, if you have a disability, or who you love– above all, be kind to one another. We're all just people, just trying to do our thing.

❥ About Me:
I'm Calliope, I'm a disabled, Hard of Hearing ASMRtist that got started in December 2016. I found ASMR back in 2011-ish when I was starting high school and it changed my life, so I wanted to create my own content and give back to the community. I'm known for my realistic medical RPs, as well as my pseudoscientific and historical RPs. ASMR is the most important thing in my life, and I hope to continue to make content for as long as possible.
