EMDR-Inspired Song

Shachar Bar, an art therapist and teacher in Sderot, Israel, created a song that incorporated EMDR-inspired bilateral alternating hand and foot movements to help children who were traumatized by the falling rockets to learn a way to deal with their fear. Before the song, when the alarm sounded the children were becoming hysterical and some were freezing, unable to seek cover.

The children were taught to sing with accompanying motions (in Hebrew): “My heart is pounding, boom, ba-ba, boom, boom, boom. My body is shaking, doom, da-da, doom, doom, doom … Breathe deep, now we can laugh. It all passed and I’m glad it’s over — yes!” The song and bilateral movements helped the children to accept, express and release their fears. A teacher in the video said, “We beat those who wanted to defeat us. They didn’t succeed. On the contrary, it strengthened us. We move on with more strength.”
