And so it's actually used a lot with veterans to process the trauma that they experienced in all situations.

But, you know, kids that are abused and neglected.

So there's like a statistic that says children in foster care have just as much trauma as combat veterans.

And so EMDR can be used with kiddos as young as six years old if they're able to all the way up to whatever age.

So you can do it with their eyes, or I use buzzers that you hold in your hands.

Do you really want to know?

You should just put EMDR on there.

There's a little YouTube website.

Have you heard of?

But they have.

Did you just make fun of me?

No, I was trying to say there's a little YouTube website, and then I was embarrassed that I said that.

That was a good one.

You can cut that, Hunter.

We've got her comfortable now Any shot you take at him is fair game And me by the way So basically whenever you have trauma Trauma gets stuck in your brain and in your body And so EMDR uses something called bilateral stimulation Which means you're going from one side to another So if you use eye movements You would follow my hand

If you hold tappers, it'll buzz from side to side.

You can tap on somebody's knees.

You can do any of those things.

And while you do that, you're focusing on a difficult memory along with the beliefs that came out of that difficult memory.

And we work to reprocess it because your brain gets stuck between the right and left hemisphere.
