How to choose your stimulation type
A quick guide to picking your preferred bilateral stimulation type for your EMDR-PEP session—designed to help athletes stay focused and balanced as they work through performance challenges.
Before your session starts, you’ll choose how you want to receive bilateral stimulation — gentle, rhythmic cues that guide your eyes left and right, helping your brain process thoughts smoothly and stay balanced. Both options work well, so it’s all about what feels best for you today.Option 1: Audio Beeps
With this, you’ll hear soft beeping sounds timed to guide your eye movement. You can keep your eyes open or closed — whatever feels more natural. Some athletes prefer this because it doesn’t require staring at the screen, which can be easier on the eyes and less distracting.Try this if you:
- Like to keep your eyes closed and relax.
- Find visual tracking tiring or distracting during practice.
- Prefer using sound to help stay grounded and focused.
Option 2: Moving Light
This option shows a small light moving side to side on your screen. Your job is to follow it gently with your eyes—left to right, steady and smooth. This can help you stay visually engaged and alert, which some athletes find helpful to maintain focus.Try this if you:
- Are more visually focused or responsive.
- Find tracking a moving object helps your concentration.
- Prefer keeping your eyes open and active during the session.
Not Sure Which to Pick?
No worries—there’s no wrong choice. Pick the one that feels easier or less distracting right now. If you’re stuck:- Try one option today, and switch it up next session.
- Go with whichever feels more calming and natural.
- If you feel a bit anxious, audio beeps might help you settle quicker.
You can choose a different method before each session, but not during—so take a moment now to decide what feels right.
Quick Reminders
- Neither option is better — it’s about what suits you best.
- You’re free to change your choice between sessions.
- If one feels uncomfortable or distracting, try the other next time.
No matter which you pick, the key is to feel safe, steady, and ready to focus on improving your performance.
