Since this coming Friday is Passover, I actually had my therapy appointment moved to today and we started using bilateral brain stimulation to begin "resourcing". From what I can gather, resourcing is creating fairly tangible self-soothing imaginings. Or another way to say it is creating and accessing resources that can be used to help us remain calm. The examples I know so far include creating an ally, viewing yourself in a light stream, a safe place, nurturing figure, protective figure, an animal, and a container. Today, I worked on creating an ally and then used the bilateral stimulation to "install" it. Basically make the image more concrete and easier to bring fully into your conscious awareness. Apparently I was trying too hard. The point of the exercise is to let your mind do what ever it's going to do. But I can do this on my own now and keep practicing for the next 10 days.
