The procedure appears straightforward but is nuanced: Initially, you will recount the distressing or traumatic memory to your therapist and assess your distress level on a scale of 1-10. Subsequently, you will redirect your attention and participate in a sequence of taps, blinks, and eye movements. In contrast to other trauma protocols that require the distressing memory to be constantly in focus, once identified, you will revisit the memory only briefly to acknowledge and communicate your disturbance level. Your therapist will provide guidance throughout the process.
