Dr Shapiro's discovery of EMDR is detailed in her books. The eye movements of EMDR have nothing in common with those of NLP. In NLP, the direction that a person's eyes are looking while thinking are understood to tap into or activate different parts and functions of the brain. It is a glance in a moment, not a repeated set of saccades over 90 minutes as in EMDR. In EMDR, the clients eyes are moved (by watching something move, such as a finger or lights) repeatedly, in sets of saccades. Hundreds of eye movements occur over a 90 minute session. Direction of a glance has no particular interest or meaning from an EMDR point of view.
