This technique sounds very similar to RRT and EMDR therapies. Can you elaborate on the differrences and similarities?

[JL-fzkn]

Where can I find this app?

Does anyone know?

[AmidalaEmma]

What about for c-ptsd? I’m looking for solutions for that.

This is a technique used in emdr correct? So are you saying to use the app when you're feeling anxiety or some stressful situation happens and to focus on the feeling in your body through each minute to lower the distress? Which is different than in emdrv with a theripist who might focus more on what memories come up during that distressful experience?

[antiquesanduniques]

Is it safe to do your own emdr therapy alone?

[ronwhitehouse]

I haven't got the app where does that leave me?
