Lesson 1

The Power Of Bilateral Stimulation

This tool utilizes a simple technique derived from the therapy called EMDR, which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It's a method that is commonly used for treatment of trauma. This tool I'm going to teach you can be done at any time, can be self-administered, and has very rapid results. This lesson includes information about how it works, how to use it, and a guided practice to try it out. It's a very powerful tool to induce a state of calm in moments.

Lesson 2

Bilateral Tapping

In this lesson, you'll learn a way to activate the bilateral stimulation response by physically tapping in a left-right rapidly shifting pattern. You'll be introduced to two variations on how to do this, and have a guided practice for each one, so you can experience them all and choose which feels most effective for you.

Lesson 3

Faster Tapping

This lesson introduces you to a different brain-based technique for clearing the intensity of stress. It's based on EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique, and yet it is a simple version that's easy to recall in the moment, and fast-acting on stress. You'll find yourself calmer in just a few minutes, or even shorter amounts of time. This is actually my favorite way to clear emotional intensity, and it even works on physical discomforts such as pain or itching.

I always enjoy your courses, Alice. The fact that they’re so short quick and really have impact for me shows that you’re a great teacher. Love these ideas and we’ll put them to use on a daily basis. I’m sure. Looking forward to more from you in 2026.
