Dang, I wish I could afford to buy books. I’d love to hear more of what Dr. Serin knows. I’m wondering if she has looked into the relative effectiveness of her gadget when worn on different parts of the body. If it is worn on the wrists they’ll be stimulating accupoints sometimes used in EFT tapping. Because of bilateral stimulation being important in EMDR, I have started doing EFT tapping bilaterally in alternating sequence on some of the tapping points when using it on myself and with my clients. (I’m sure you’re wondering how effective EFT tapping is on my clients. Since I am not formally trained I don’t push it if my clients say it doesn’t seem to work. I have had some clients who find it helpful and have done a lot of healing from PTSD by doing tapping with me and on their own. The exception is in my small sample of preadolescent kids, they all have healed from their acting out behaviors in a couple sessions with tapping.)
