That is so cool!
I’ve never made the connection of the eye movements in EMDR mimicking REM sleep. That makes complete sense.
I see what I think you’re saying. If I do EMDR with this, even if I don’t get past it in session, maybe it would free up the Protector in my dreams.
I have a part that wants to go to Mocha Mugs and get a cinnamon roll coffee with whipped cream on top. [emoji4]
