    EMDR music therapy can be listened to on YouTube for free, or you can buy the album of “EMDR music therapy” for $7.00 on Amazon.com. Play the music when your children are distressed, throwing tantrums, having anxiety or if you are experiencing stress. The music is very soothing and you will be surprised how everyone calms even your pets.
