I've seen this done, but I'm not sure I understand it very well and I have no memory of what the initials stand for. It's very effective in dealing with PTSD and early trauma, even if the kids don't cognitively remember the trauma. It's done with therapy type suggestions, eye movement and certain had movements.
It helps the child be able to remember the trauma without feeling the fear everytime it pops up. One of my children, who had been abusive to me, had good results from this. He was able to understand that the anger he was using on me, was not a result of anything I'd done, but was from his past.
I know that's a terrible explaination, but I don't know how to explain it. I was an observer to this but participated in the attachment therapies. Maybe Dr. Art is familiar with this and could explain it better. He's on the special needs forum.
Sorry I'm not more help on this.
