This EMDR resource focuses on visualizing a protective figure that offers a sense of safety during difficult times. This figure can be someone you know, a spiritual or symbolic entity, an animal, or even a character from your past. Reflect on how this figure protects and safeguards you, considering their actions and the qualities that make them protective. Once you have a clear sense of this figure, bilateral stimulation (BLS) is used to strengthen the mental connection to their protective presence.
