SOMATIC TOOLS FOR NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION AND ANXIETY SUPPORT
Have you ever felt ‘better’ in a therapy session but struggled to find ways to support yourself between sessions?
The tools listed below are optional resources that some clients find supportive between sessions. They are not required for therapy. You are always welcome to source similar items independently, and I always encourage doing your own research into what tools might work best for you.

BLUETOOTH EMDR TAPPERS
These wireless EMDR tappers offer a convenient way to receive bilateral stimulation (BLS) remotely during virtual sessions. The vibrations alternate between each handheld tapper, helping your nervous system regulate and stabilize.
These tappers can be remote-controlled during virtual EMDR sessions or used on your own between appointments during meditations. These EMDR Tappers come with an app that includes simple practices and meditations for use, similar to the techniques used during EMDR sessions.
The gentle, rhythmic vibrations can help to regulate the nervous system, making them a great tool for:
✅ Managing anxiety & stress
✅ Grounding during overwhelming moments
✅ Easing into sleep
✅ Supporting self-guided inner work

WEIGHTED BLANKET
Weighted blankets provide deep pressure input, which some individuals find calming and regulating for the nervous system. The steady, gentle weight can support relaxation, grounding, and improved sleep by creating a sense of containment and physical safety.
Many people use weighted blankets between sessions as an additional layer of nervous system support, particularly during periods of heightened stress or difficulty winding down.
Some individuals may find them helpful for:
✅ Reducing anxiety and restlessness
✅ Supporting deeper sleep
✅ Calming racing thoughts
✅ Creating a sense of physical grounding & containment

NEE-DOH SENSORY SQUEEZE TOY
Nee-Doh sensory squeeze toys provide simple tactile input that can help people get out of their minds and into the felt sense of touch and sensation.

Because they are small and portable, they can be used discreetly at home, at work, or while traveling for comfort.
Some people may find them helpful for:
