BST utilizes eye movements and other bilateral stimulation as well as methods of energy medicine and energy psychology. These methods have been used for hundreds of years as part of the South American Toltec shamanic traditions. Aspects of BST are similar to the more widely known Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) treatment used to treat trauma. Many professionals utilizing BST consider it to be a kinder and gentler way of reprocessing traumatic memories and triggers.
Brain synchronization therapy is a way to help defuse the emotional responses to past incidents. Similar to EMDR, the brain synchronization therapy used here asks the patient to envision the past and, without having to reveal details to the therapist, uses guided eye movements to separate the memory from emotion. This reduces the distress caused by the memories and helps clients move past traumatic experiences.
