@sirweighsalot how does it work?

@BurningBright You do something that simulates your REM sleep stage, like tapping one leg alternatively, and your brain naturally processes the trauma

@sirweighsalot that’s it? Feels like there would be *more* to it..? Couldn’t I tap my legs myself while describing or thinking about trauma?

@BurningBright You could try! But it does help having someone to guide you through the experience

@sirweighsalot is it risky solo? Is it possible to achieve it solo too? How does it work?

@BurningBright I don't know that part
