You can use EMDR both for anchoring positive experiences, as well as to dip into unprocessed traumatic memories. In a typical therapy setting, you do both. Stabilization techniques are in addition to that; vagus nerve stimulation serves to calm down your nervous system, so it would aid the stabilization, so then in turn you can face more of the unprocessed trauma. It's not an either-or. PTSD therapy requires a combination of various elements, tailored to the specific circumstances, history and personality. The idea to "try it at home" from some YouTube videos is absurd, unfortunately. It may do you good, OK, but it has nothing to do with real EMDR used in a therapeutic setting.
