Guided Practices
These guided practices support your EMDR therapy by strengthening grounding, self-regulation, and connection with inner and external supports. Each recording offers an opportunity to practice and reinforce the tools we’ve developed in session. Through imagery, breathwork, and gentle tapping, you’ll reinforce sensations of safety and stability. Listen between sessions to help your system more easily return to calm, balance, and connection — even during stress.
Safety Note:
Continue tapping only if it feels soothing and stabilizing. If it becomes activating, pause and return to your grounding resources. These recordings are a supplemental support tool and not a substitute for EMDR therapy, counseling, or medical care.

The Container
Length: ~5 minutes
Focus: Enhancing emotional containment and nervous system regulation
Description:
This guided practice helps you strengthen your existing container — the internal or imagined space where you can safely hold thoughts, feelings, or images until the right time to process them. Through mindful awareness and gentle visualization, you’ll deepen your sense of control and safety when emotions feel intense or overwhelming. This is an ideal practice to use between therapy sessions or after emotionally activating experiences to restore calm and clarity.
Essential Self Practice
Length: ~4 minutes
Focus: Wholeness, divine love, and the unbroken self
Description:
This recording is designed to deepen connection with your Essential Spiritual Self — the core of goodness and divine love that remains whole despite life’s experiences. Through gentle imagery, breath, and tapping, you’ll practice resting in that unbroken part of yourself. This is best used after other resourcing practices, such as Safe Place or Nurturing Figure, once your system feels ready for deeper integration.
Wise or Spiritual Being Practice
Length: ~4 minutes
Focus: Inner guidance, compassion, and spiritual wisdom
Description:
Intended for those who have already developed a connection with a wise or spiritual figure in therapy, this practice helps you revisit that presence for grounding and gentle guidance. Through breath, imagery, and bilateral tapping, you’ll deepen your sense of inner wisdom, compassion, and spiritual connection — reinforcing these qualities between EMDR sessions.
Sacred Place Practice
Length: ~4 minutes
Focus: Spiritual safety and connection with the Divine
Description:
This guided visualization helps you reconnect with your Sacred Place — a space of divine peace or spiritual grounding. Best used once you’ve first explored this imagery in therapy, this practice can support spiritual regulation and inner calm between sessions. Through breath, gentle tapping, and sacred imagery, you’ll strengthen your sense of spiritual safety and connection.
