Eye patching – sometimes referred to as “Pirate Therapy” has been in the RET therapist’s bag of therapeutic tools for some time. And as a whole therapy model, it is fantastic – and easy. To do eye patching, simply purchase a good eye patch – one that allows one to keep the eye open while it is patched, and use the patch as often as you can.
In this article, I want to delve a little deeper into the mysteries of eye patching – and show you a simple, yet powerful technique you can use on yourself and others to jump start change – assisting you and them in achieving therapeutic goals quicker and with a whole lot less effort. RET is already nearly effortless for the client – the following technique will put the RET into overdrive right off the bat. You can do this process on yourself, too – although I recommend doing it with someone else.
