When "name 5 things you see" doesn't work, touch does. Nine tactile grounding techniques, including bilateral tapping, that reach the nervous system when sight checks out.
Joy-Cons can buzz left-right, but EMDR needs a symmetrical, adjustable pulse a game controller wasn't built to guarantee. Here's the honest breakdown.
