Podcasts about bilateral stimulation

Ever felt like your emotions are spiralling or your mind is scattered — and you just can't seem to reset?  In this nurturing episode of The Energy Shift, I introduce the Butterfly Hug—a powerful self-regulation technique that activates both sides of the brain using bilateral stimulation. Rooted in somatic therapy and originally used in trauma healing practices, this tool is now becoming a go-to for anyone seeking emotional stability, mental clarity, and a deeper sense of grounding.  Originally developed as part of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), this technique is a beautiful, accessible tool to calm the nervous system, reconnect to the body, and regulate emotions—anytime, anywhere. Let me walk you through how to do the Butterfly Hug, how it supports emotional grounding, and how to to deepen the experience with tools like breathwork, intention setting, and essential oils. ✨ In this episode, you'll learn: ✔ What the Butterfly Hug is and how it works ✔ The science behind bilateral stimulation and emotional safety ✔ Step-by-step instructions for the technique ✔ How to enhance your practice with intention, breath, or oils ✔ Everyday situations where this tool can support you ✔ Why regular practice builds nervous system resilience Healing is always within reach—tune in, try it for yourself, and shift your energy — one mindful tap at a time.

Is EMDR therapy legitimate science or pseudoscientific sham? In this provocative debate, Dr. Roger McFillin challenges Taraleigh Stemler, a certified EMDR practitioner and licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), on whether the popular trauma treatment's signature eye movements and bilateral stimulation offer any real benefit, or if exposure therapy—simply facing painful memories—is doing all the heavy lifting. As both clinicians clash over research validity, the "medicalization" of normal emotions, and whether we've created a therapy-dependent culture, this raw conversation exposes the tribal warfare happening within mental health treatment that directly impacts which therapies patients receive.Chapters00:00 The Wild West of Psychotherapy06:01 The EMDR Process Explained12:03 Challenging the Efficacy of EMDR18:10 Post-Traumatic Growth: A Different Perspective23:58 Critique of EMDR's Application30:01 Comparing EMDR to Other Treatments38:56 Therapeutic Approaches: EMDR vs. Traditional Methods46:58 Bilateral Stimulation: A Controversial Tool55:06 Client Experiences and Observations01:01:54 The Scope of EMDR: A One-Size-Fits-All Solution?01:07:04 The Need for Research and Evidence in Therapy01:15:21 Research and Effectiveness of EMDR01:23:03 The Importance of Therapeutic Relationships01:29:55 The Power of Courage in Therapy RADICALLY GENUINE PODCASTDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here—-----------FREE DOWNLOAD!

Today's guest, Sarah Rollins of Embodied Wellness, shares insights into somatic experiencing and its importance in therapy.Sarah describes her unique journey, including performing at Carnegie Hall with a klezmer band during her middle school years. Despite initially pursuing somatic experiencing training during her time as a mental health therapist, she found it challenging to integrate this body-focused trauma treatment within her agency's traditional framework. The pandemic provided an unexpected opportunity for her to launch Embodied Wellness, allowing her to address the rising need for trauma-informed care.We explore the mind-body connection, a core concept of somatic experiencing. Sarah explains how physical symptoms, such as stomach aches or chest fluttering, can be manifestations of trauma. This understanding challenges the often-separate view of physical ailments and mental health. Jon shares his own experiences with anxiety, reinforcing Sarah's points about the profound impact of emotional distress on the body.The episode takes a practical turn as Sarah demonstrates a brief somatic exercise with Jon, highlighting the process of identifying and addressing physical sensations linked to stress. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing these sensations without overwhelming the client, suggesting techniques like focusing on a smaller percentage of the sensation to make it more manageable.We also delve into various therapeutic techniques such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), where bilateral stimulation helps reprocess traumatic events to reduce distress. Sarah explains that while the memory of the trauma remains, the distress associated with it diminishes.Additionally, the discussion touches on the importance of mental health in the workplace. Sarah underscores the necessity for employees to learn emotional regulation and effective communication to foster a healthier work environment. We discuss how emotional intelligence (EQ) is crucial for professional interactions, a sentiment echoed by Jon's anecdote about workplace dynamics.Lisa shares her own strategies for managing stress and anxiety in her real estate career, highlighting breathing techniques and the significance of addressing the nervous system. This practical advice aligns with Sarah's emphasis on having a variety of tools to handle different situations.Sarah's key takeaway for listeners seeking therapy is the importance of finding a therapist they feel comfortable with, comparing it to the process of dating. Comfort and trust in the therapeutic relationship are crucial for effective treatment.We wrap up the episode with our guest reflecting on her educational journey, notably influenced by a graduate student instructor who helped her understand her own biases without shame. Sarah's contact information is provided for listeners interested in exploring somatic experiencing or other holistic treatments offered by her team.This episode provides valuable insights into the somatic approach to therapy, emphasizing the interconnectedness of mind and body in addressing trauma and anxiety.Embodied Wellness: https://embodiedwellnesstherapy.com/More on Somatic Experiencing: https://traumahealing.org/ Learn more about the Royal Oak Chamber of Commerce: https://www.royaloakchamber.com/Connect with our hosts:Jon Gay from JAG in Detroit Podcasts - http://www.jagindetroit.com/Lisa Bibbee from Keller Williams - http://soldbylisab.com/

This month we are starting a new mini-series on coping skills to calm your nerves and retrain your brain. In this series, I will teach practical coping skills you can implement into your daily routine. I encourage you to try them, even if they feel silly. Figuring out which coping skills work for you might take time and experimentation. I am not your counselor; these are simply ideas, so be sure to talk with your counselor about which coping skills are right for you. As an EMDR-trained therapist, incorporating bilateral stimulation with coping skills is one of my favorite things to do with my patients. In this episode, I want to teach you how to use butterfly hugs to calm your nervous system and reign in the runaway brain. Butterfly hugs explained: Place your right hand on the left side of your chest and your left hand on the right side of your chest. Begin to tap, slowly and gently, right and left on your chest. Focus on taking deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth. If you're able to, please close your eyes.

David mentions that he is sitting on the floor, because he still hasn't gotten a desk. Isabelle supports the floor sitting and prefers it herself for her sessions, or standing. The two agree on swivel chairs and some of the squeaky and smooth qualities of swinging or rocking, and Isabelle mentions that 5 S's, or the hacks that are supposed to help lull an infant to sleep (5 S's) —what is it about water that Isabelle finds so soothing on a sensory level? Isabelle's theory is that it provides a deep consistent pressure, and a lot of sensation and stimulation, the almost-weightless feeling— a set of physical sensations. David validates this: cold water is a neurological stimulant, and the sense of buoyancy may not be comforting for everyone, but soothing for you. David mentions Wim Hof and his method that uses very cold water/showers and breathing methods to give a bit of a reset. David points out that water may also be helpful because it provides bilateral stimulation and an element of risk taking (you have to keep swimming or moving or you'll drown), and Isabelle confirms that for her that pressure and buoyancy and the sensation of being pulled down (like Twilight Zone Tower of Terror). Bilateral stimulation is when you stimulate first one side of the brain, then the other. It has been known to help with trauma processing (for example, what's used in a method called EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and added stimulation can be comforting alongside cognitive processing. Owning the idea that it might be comforting for you, not for everyone. There is a spectrum, for example, some people love a weighted blanket, some people cannot tolerate it. Make sure it's a weighted blanket that is right for your age and weight range (because there are limits)—David almost threw his arm out throwing a weighted blanket. David tried it for three nights and then got too hot. Isabelle and Bobby's blanket doubles up when one of them tosses their large blanket onto the other during the night. Isabelle talks about all the sensory rooms she wishes existed, and how awesome certain sensory toys are, and they agree about ball pits and how it feels. She mentions the City Museum of St. Louis (see below) which is filled with incredible sensory experiences—Isabelle had an experience where (as a six foot tall person) in a ball pit, she thought there might not be a bottom. David helped prompt Isabelle to remember what she was talking about by repeating back what her tangents were. Isabelle names that she has not idea where she learned something but can also picture it—David names that there are anchor memories. Isabelle notes that conversations with neurotypical friends—she slows down, tries to stay on topic, tries not to interrupt, which she notices she does not do with her neurodivergent friends. David never understood what masking was until he met David Flink and became involved with Project Eye to Eye. David learned through the trainings and collaborations with that organization that masking (pretending to be neurotypical) was chipping away at his authenticity. His usual rate of talking is 1.5x—and it takes energy to slow down, both Isabelle and David agree it's exhausting to slow down. David describes how when everyone was talking, this awesome guy named Grady was throwing a ball against the wall, and then he shared this racquetball experience with each other. No one in that room dared to challenge someone to say they weren't paying attention, regardless of what they were doing—it was such an empowering and incredible space. Isabelle remarks on how amazing this sounds and names that throughout this whole conversation, she has been fidgeting with a My Little Pony plastic tail—and how it would feel to hold up that fidget toy with pride. The importance of explaining to people why we need our sensory toys and fidgets and just how much it matters to unmask and set new models for people.5 S's (for soothing babies, developed by Dr. Harvey Karp who wrote the book The Happiest Baby on the Block) but as David and Isabelle name, these can be great sensory ideas for folx in any age or stage)-swaddle (think of a weighted vest/tight shirt/weighted blanket/body sack/body sock)-holding baby on their side or stomach (lying down in that position)-shush (imitating white noise) (noise machine or ambient music)-swing (or rock)-suck (pacifier or thumb)Twilight Zone Tower of TerrorCity Museum in St. LouisProject Eye to Eye Wim Hof: Also known as the Ice Man, developed a breathing method to endure cold temperatures and holding his breath a long time. It's a breathing method that can help you stimulate yourself and ground yourself using a cold shower, for example. DAVID'S DEFINITIONSBilateral stimulation: Any rhythmic stimulation of first one side of the brain/body (eg. left), then the other side (eg. The right). Essentially it's going back and forth, back and forth, almost like a metronome, but with a tone, a tap, a light, or a movement. Examples that we naturally do are: walking, climbing (first one foot, then another), or butterfly hugs (see here).EMDR (or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): a therapy used to help clients process traumatic events that involves rhythmic bilateral stimulation (in the form of tones, taps, or even flashing lights, that first stimulate one side of your brain/body, then the other, back and forth.  For more, check out the American Psychological Association description of this type of therapy.Learning Difference (LD): Because learning disability is a crummy, inaccurate term. For example, David does not have a learning disability, he has a sitting still disability. Masking: Often used in referenced to folx with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), it also applies to folx with ADHD (or both!), it's the idea that you have to wear a neurotypical mask to be accepted or to engage in a world made for those that are neurotypical. It can be (and feel like) a matter of survival. From a great article on the topic:“For many neurodivergent people, masking is a survival tool for engaging in neurotypical societies and organizations. Masking (also called camouflaging) is the artificial performance of social behaviors deemed more “socially acceptable” in a neurotypical culture.”Sensory Tools Galore!First of all, there is no one size fits all!

This week we welcome Dr. Tiffany Tajiri, board certified psychologist and author of Peace After Combat:  Healing the Spiritual and Psychological Wounds of War.  For so many science and faith are held at arm's length from one another, but Dr. Tajiri combines the two worlds in what she calls "Rhythm Restoration".  This method is a combination of RHYTHM for soothing, BILATERAL STIMULATION for psychological digestion, and positive VISUALIZATION for the re-scripting of painful experiences.  She walks us through a gritty, and honest, look at what combat veterans are faced with when they return home.  Each chapter, of Peace After Combat, illustrates a common situation facing our service members, and how faith can be the catalyst for healing.  The novellas combine to answer the question, "Where is God in war?"  Dr. Tajiri also talks about her non-profit, Stand-Up and Recover; providing health and hope to military veterans, and family members, through education of behavioral health resources, retreats, excursions, and spiritual counseling.  Whether you are a believer, or not, Dr. Tajiri's insight and message supports the idea that "God is Love'', and let's be honest the world needs a lot more of that!Peace After Combat:  Healing the Spiritual and Psychological Wounds of War available everywhere July 1st.  For more information about Peace After Combet, Stand-Up and Recover, and Dr. Tajiri go to www.drtiffanytajiri.comThere is still time to sign up for the Bulletproof Veteran 5k on July 10th benefiting One More Wave...in-person, virtual, and donation options available.  Register or donate at www.bulletproofveteran.com

To "Eliminate the Negative and Accentuate the Positive" is the main purpose and focus of this Stress Buster Radio show, as well as all following shows, where I am going to be demonstrating actual therapeutic methods that you are going to be able to apply to yourself to your RELEASE your Stress, no matter what form it takes, be it anxiety, worry, fear, anger, depression, guilt, physical pain, weight problems/overeating and other food issues, drug/alcohol abuse, smoking, etc., etc., etc. The list goes on and on. The methods that I'm going to be teaching you are the same therapeutic methods I use in my Psychotherapy Practice and, to top it off, you will be able to apply these methods to yourself to RELEASE your Stress however it shows up. As the song made popular by Bing Crosby in the 1940's says, "You've got to spread joy up to the maximum - Bring gloom down to the minimum" and that's what we're going to be helping you to do, one show at a time. Scrooge is getting with the program. How about you? Over the course of time, and a number of shows, I'm going to be teaching you how to use such methods as The Sedona Method (as we touched on during the last show with more to come), Bilateral Stimulation (from E.M.D.R. - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), E.F.T. (Emotional Freedom Techniques), W.H.E.E. (Wholistic Hybrid of E.M.D.R. and E.F.T.), Brainspotting, Hypnosis, different aspects of Parts Therapy, Ask and Receive, and much, much more as we continue our journey together in the upcoming Stress Buster Radio Shows. Be There or Be Stressed!Method of the Month - Bilateral StimulationBilateral Stimulation comes from a trauma therapy called E.M.D.R. (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a process discovered in the late 1980's and developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro. This method is not only an core element of E.M.D.R., but it is also an integral method that can be combined with other methods I will be teaching you in the future to enhance the effectiveness of those methods. Today I'm going to be showing you how it is effective in three ways, to help you get Relief from Stress, to Release your Stress and also to help you to feel better in the moment while focusing on the positive.

Episode 15: This episode explores the effects of bilateral stimulation, which is typically associated with EMDR. Bilateral stimulation is incorporating the left and right side of the body, in rhythm, in order to change the brain waves. In doing so, the theory is that you slow down the left brain and speed up the right brain, thus giving you easier access to your feelings and emotional memories. Bilateral stimulation is used frequently for PTSD and working throughpast traumatic events. Rick discusses how he uses bilateral stimulation, along with inner child techniques, in order to bring about shifting limiting core beliefs. Rick Reynolds is a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, a Reiki Master, and a Life Coach. He is a Core Belief Transformation Specialist because shifting those core beliefs is the most powerful life changing work that he does. Hypnotherapy, Reiki, EFT, Life Coaching and Bilateral Stimulation are all modalities that Rick incorporates.
