I have created scripts for the following audio resources:


The Container Exercise
The container exercise is also one of the most common resources used in EMDR therapy, but again can be helpful even if clients are not doing EMDR. This exercise is helpful for when the nervous system is overwhelmed, or when people need to take a break from thinking or ruminating on something.

E.M.B.E.R.S.
The E.M.B.E.R.S. exercise is one of my signature and most powerful resources. I created this acronym to help people remember different ways that we can “know” things. The intention is to feel and experience these different types of intelligence on deeper levels beyond our cognitive “knowing.”

Energy, Mind, Body, Emotions, Reactions (behaviors), (the 5) Senses

The Calm Place
This is a very common resource used in EMDR therapy, but can be a great resource for all clients. The Calm Place is like a 5-minute vacation you take for clients (or yourself:-)

The Mental Allies Team
This is a great resource for when clients feel a lack of support or feel “all alone” in their struggles. The best part of the mental allies team is that when clients imagine an ally, the brain lights up just as if that person/animal/character/place in nature was really there.

Peaceful Tree/Egg of Light Meditation
This is almost another, more guided version of a Calm Place. This can be a great meditation when clients are overwhelmed and/or when they need to feel supported.  Nature can be an amazing resource, even in our mind’s eye.

If you are a therapist or a coach, these scripts are my go-to interventions for helping resource clients. I encourage clients to practice these outside of session and they often report feeling more in control, especially when they practice regularly. They can listen to my pre-recorded versions of these here:

11 Polyvagal Toning Exercises

I appreciate all the work you do in the world! We are the space holders, the feelings, validators, the surrogate parents, the attuners. We are humbly helping to pull the arc of humanity close to love, justice, equity, beauty, healing, accountability, and reciprocity. You do not have to be perfect. I see you and appreciate you!

Much Gratitude,

Erica
