-==Role of Bilateral Stimulation in EMDR==
-Bilateral stimulation is a core element of [[eye movement desensitization and reprocessing]] (EMDR) therapy, a common treatment for [[post traumatic stress disorder]] (PTSD). While the client thinks about distressing memories and feelings, the therapist uses external stimuli to facilitate bilateral stimulation.<ref name="Verstrael20132">{{cite journal|last1=Verstrael|first1=Sietse|last2=van der Wurff|first2=Peter|last3=Vermetten|first3=Eric|date=July 2013|title=Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as Treatment for Combat-Related PTSD: A Meta-Analysis|journal=Military Behavioral Health|volume=1|issue=2|pages=68–73|doi=10.1080/21635781.2013.827088}}</ref> The treatment originally used only left-to-right eye movements as the bilateral stimulus but other forms of stimuli, often physical vibration in combination with binaural sounds, are now commonly being used as alternatives. Proponents of EMDR therapy hypothesize that bilateral stimulation assists clients in the processing of painful or traumatizing memories.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=http://www.emdr.com/what-is-emdr/|title=What is EMDR? {{!}} EMDR Institute – EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION AND REPROCESSING THERAPY|website=www.emdr.com|language=en-US|access-date=2017-11-05}}</ref> In the most common form of treatment, the client focuses on a traumatic memory and the negative thoughts or feelings associated with that memory. The client then follows with their eyes while the therapist moves their finger or some other object in front of them from left to right. Alternatively, the therapist may choose to use other types of bilateral stimuli. The hypothesis is that doing this allows the client to access and reprocess negative memories, eventually leading to decreased psychological arousal associated with the memory.<ref name="Boccia2015">{{cite journal |last1=Boccia |first1=Maddalena |last2=Piccardi |first2=Laura |last3=Cordellieri |first3=Pierluigi |last4=Guariglia |first4=Cecilia |last5=Giannini |first5=Anna Maria |title=EMDR therapy for PTSD after motor vehicle accidents: meta-analytic evidence for specific treatment |journal=Frontiers in Human Neuroscience |date=21 April 2015 |volume=9 |page=213 |doi=10.3389/fnhum.2015.00213 |pmid=25954183 |pmc=4404810 }}</ref> Therapy then focuses on fostering a positive belief or emotion in the client.<ref name=":0" />
-==Types of bilateral stimulation==
-Eye movements are the main form of bilateral stimulation used for EMDR. Originally EMDR used only visual stimuli and the resulting eye movements to facilitate the therapy process. The creator of EMDR therapy, [[Francine Shapiro]], postulated that eye movements in particular were a necessary part of the treatment. However, research found similar efficacy using other types of stimulation and other stimuli are now commonly used by EMDR practitioners.<ref name="Jeffries & Davis 2012"/> These alternative stimuli include auditory stimuli that alternate between left and right speakers or headphones, and physical stimuli such as tapping of the therapist’s hands.<ref name=Rodenburg2009>{{cite journal |last1=Rodenburg |first1=Roos |last2=Benjamin |first2=Anja |last3=de Roos |first3=Carlijn |last4=Meijer |first4=Ann Marie |last5=Stams |first5=Geert Jan |title=Efficacy of EMDR in children: A meta-analysis |journal=Clinical Psychology Review |date=November 2009 |volume=29 |issue=7 |pages=599–606 |doi=10.1016/j.cpr.2009.06.008 |pmid=19616353 }}</ref>
