Can you give examples of NC related to these cravings?

Thank you Dr. Paterson. I will share this with my counselor. However, when I am away from my counseling sessions, how can I perform self-EMDR to avoid urges to indulge in negative behavior (AUD). I am currently practicing self-bilateral stimulation, and it has intensely helped me with anxiety and sleeping.

Question, what are you thoughts on facilitating the somatic process if the client isn’t getting there themselves. For example, after many sets the bubble in the throat is still there. Can you invite the client to try yawning or burping?

I'm wondering if you have scripts available with these? i
