Bilateral Stimulation (BLS) is anyrhythmic alternation of stimulation
between the left and right hemispheres.

There Are Several Forms of BLS,Each With Therapeutic Applications
• Visual/Eyes (Example: EMDR)
• Tactile/Skin (Example:“Tapping”)
• Auditory/Ears (Example: Brainspotting)

“Bilateral stimulation activates an accelerated processing effect that encourages an extraordinary free-associative process between the mind and body that causes thoughts, emotions, images, memories, body sensations, dreamlike fantasies and other aspects of perception to break out of their old patterns and move rapidly to new levels of self-awareness.”
- Laurel Parnell, “Tapping In: A Step-by-Step
Guide to Activating Your Healing Resources Through Bilateral Stimulation”

Trauma Resolution
BLS has historically been used to desensitize and reprocess
trauma-based encoding and enhance ego-state integration.

Resource Enhancement
BLS is increasingly used to potentiate adaptive thoughts,
emotions, sensations, memories and associations.

Potential BLS Goals
• Resolve recent and remote trauma
• Enhance executive functioning
• Encode adaptive and affirming thoughts, feelings and beliefs
• Enhance creativity by strengthening new neural connections
• Reduce psychosomatic symptoms

Characteristics of BLS
• More neurological than mental
“reflexive” rather than “reflective”
brain-based rather than mind-based
• Activation is both “bottom-up” (extraction of neural information) and “top-down” (integration of neural information)
• 5-6 hour reconsolidation period
![Page 10: Auditory Bilateral Stimulation For Healing and Personal Growth](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052911/559d35081a28ab62398b4596/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Defragmentation: integrates scattered (dissociated) information
• File cleaning: removes unnecessary artifacts(“orphan files”)
• Debugging: identifies and removes “programmingerrors”
• Virus removal: identifies and removes corrupting code
Result: improved “software” functioning, especially background processes
BLS Is A LikeOptimizing A Hard Drive

Theoretical Mechanisms of Action
• Dual attention theory
• Orienting response
• Reciprocal inhibition
• Reconsolidation process

Special Benefits of Auditory BLS
![Page 13: Auditory Bilateral Stimulation For Healing and Personal Growth](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052911/559d35081a28ab62398b4596/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Music Processing is Distributed Throughout the Brain and Involves Nearly Every Neural Subsystem
From “This is Your Brain on Music, by Daniel J. Levitin
Frontal CortexProcesses musical structure, expectations and meaning

Music Adds To Potential Benefits of BLS
• Attending to musical structure requires both halves of the brain.
• Music taps into primitive brain structures involved with motivation, reward and emotion.
![Page 15: Auditory Bilateral Stimulation For Healing and Personal Growth](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052911/559d35081a28ab62398b4596/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Receptive process: no active effort needed
• Allows simultaneous application of multiple degrees of BLS strength (next slide)
• Allows much greater variety of input
• Utilizes inherent benefits of music
• Capable of accessing pre-verbal neural
encoding of experience
• Music serves role of “safe place”

• Sound should be at lowest audible level
– The cycling, not volume, is important
– Too loud can cause distraction or disequilibrium
– Can increase volume as desired
• Eyes open or closed ok
• Standing, sitting, lying down, walking all ok. No driving!
