EMDR Therapists: Refreshers are Critical. Register Now!

When EMDR sessions stall, it’s rarely random. Research shows that the closer a clinician stays to the researched protocol, the better the results. If you're a clinician using EMDR, maintaining existing skill is perhaps more critical than further learning, as the basic training is the basis of all EMDR.

Three structural patterns tend to emerge as clinicians get further from their initial training:

1. Readiness criteria weren’t fully assessed

   Subtle instability is missed. Reprocessing loses momentum.

   
   

2. Target identification lacks precision

   “Close enough” targets derail entire sessions.

   
   

3. Interweaves are used prematurely

   Processing is interrupted rather than supported.

   
   

All three are structural drifts — not therapist failures. And the Institute has a course for that! Sign up here:
