Phase 1 of EMDR

When does it start?

Does it always come first?

When are we done with it?

It depends…if we are approaching any phase of EMDR from a whole brain perspective grounded in the AIP framework - questions are welcome.

ARE YOU FINDING IT HARD TO BILL AND DOCUMENT THE NEW SERVICES THAT YOU OFFER?

In basic training we’re taught all about the protocol, the AIP model, the neuroscience behind the mechanisms of EMDR and how to conceptualize through this new lens. We tend to breeze over the bookkeeping side of things that come with offering EMDR services.

What to do when you’re feeling stuck.

In EMDR basic training we're taught to go back to Target, to alter forms of or change speed of BLS, and to use interweaves. However, when practicing EMDR there are times when these techniques are not enough to help clients continue to move adaptively through the network.
