"But, based on my understanding of the biology of emotion and the most current neuroscience research, I think that such an intervention more likely enhances “focus” (dopamine enhancement and prefrontal cortical stimulation?) enabling a better understanding of, and a downward/cognitive management of, emotion (emotion is always triggered in, and emanates from, the dominant, faster, and more primitive subcortical neurosystems)." I think you make a good point. As for the research, I believe only one study showed that bls was not necessary, other studies seemed to show that it WAS a component of treatment. I think the jury's still out... my own therapist sees no problem doing emdr without bls, but that is probably an idiosyncratic stance.
