DIY-EMDR

Projects
Participants	Becha, Justa
Skills	Programming, soldering, documenting, listening
Status	Planning
Niche	Other
Purpose	Education

Goals of this project are:

• to make a DIY EMDR kit
• in order to do-it-yourself EMDR-therapy at home
• and to share this knowledge with others

We will do this by:

• designing, shopping for parts, building, soldering, programming
• learning how to do EMDR; testing the kit; using it!
• documenting the process, the project; and teaching it to others; and presenting about it

TODO:

• Order equipment to buy: controllable LED strip; ESP32; power-supply?
• Maybe also use: sound = headphones; small vibrators instead of phone-buzzers (used for bristlebots);
• Promotion: CCC; hackaday; "hacking with care"; TBD? and similar;
• Education & support for friends

Links:

• What is EMDR
  • "EMDR makes *tangible* the connection between the thoughts, un-processed emotions (trauma) and the painful body
  • "effects: light-dot that moves; a ticking-sound (non-rhytmical), and the buzzing "vibrators" to keep in one's hands"
