Teaching my sister the butterfly tap because apparently I can’t go anywhere without turning it into a therapy moment 🫣.
The butterfly tap is a simple bilateral stimulation technique where you slowly alternate tapping from one side of the body to the other. It can be used as a grounding tool to help you reconnect with the present moment when emotions feel overwhelming.
We were sitting by this beautiful lake, taking it all in, and I thought… what better place to practice creating a sense of safety? 🥹
One of my favorite parts of EMDR is that the skills don’t stay in the therapy room. You get to take them with you. Even on sister trips. 💗
