Common EMDR Difficulties
-
Effective assessment, target selection and treatment planning and organisation with complex presentations
-
Avoiding over-complication or under-complication of cases
-
Accurate identification of positive and negative cognitions
-
Knowing when NOT to 'stay out of the way', and how to intervene effectively
-
Curating effective cognitive interweaves
-
Identifying the missing, and needed, adaptive information for the target memory/problem (and developing an elegant interweave to match!)
-
Identifying clinically relevant (emphasis on RELEVANT - all trauma involves dissociation, not all dissociation requires specific attention) dissociative symptoms and responding effectively
-
Effective trouble-shooting and responses for when processing is getting stuck
-
Knowing how, and in what situations, to amend the standard protocol
Consultation can help you with all of the above, and much more.
