Thanks my old T tried the "follow my finger with the eyes" this.....made us extremely anxious, then she tapped rapidly on one or both knees this too caused extreme anxiety...then she did the tapping on my knee ( or knees) that represented "a heartbeat that an unborn baby would hear...feel"...so it was tap,tap pause, tap,tap, pause.....that would usually ground us and at the time I thought relaxed the body from being tense or nervous.
Thanks for the web site I don't feel so bad now that EMDR did not work for us.
