EMDR Made Approachable

 

So Many Therapists Leave EMDR Training Thinking, “Okay… now what?!”
You walk out of basic EMDR training feeling hopeful… then hit real-world roadblocks: cases feel confusing, overwhelming, or more complex than the manual suggested. You’re navigating not just memories, but relational and attachment dynamics, dissociation, and blocked processing.

​

Can I Be Real With You for a Sec?

• You will have tough sessions.

• You will feel unsure if you’re doing it right.

• You will wonder which memory to target, which protocol to use, or how to stay attuned to your client’s relational needs.

This is all part of becoming an EMDR therapist — not a sign that you’re failing.

Why Consultation Helps

Training Gives You the Basics — Consultation Helps You Master Real-World EMDR.

Consultation provides a space to:

• Think through challenging cases in real time

• Get support when you’re unsure or stuck

• Build confidence, clarity, and clinical decision-making

• Deepen your understanding of the model

• Integrate IFS, Flash Technique, EMDR 2.0, and alternative protocols into your practice

​EMDR Has Completely Changed My Work

EMDR has completely transformed the way I work. It’s helped me feel more confident, clearer, and more effective when working with complex trauma, dissociation, and attachment challenges. I identify deeply as an EMDR therapist now, but I know not everyone connects with the model in the same way — and that’s totally okay!

One of my favorite parts of consultation is helping therapists figure out how to make EMDR fit their own therapeutic voice and style, so it works for them and their clients.
