Professional Guidance to Help You Satisfy EMDR Training Requirements and Level Up your EMDR Skills DOBO TRAINED!! 😁Wonder. Discover. Overcome.

If EMDR is your main therapy model, the certification process can help you utilize it more efficiently. It means that EMDR is your art form, and I can help you express it in a way that brings out YOU. Just because you’re a therapist doesn’t mean that you’re a robot — even when you’re following the standard protocol! I believe that who you are as a therapist and who you are as a person can never be separated. After all, EMDR is a person-centered therapy! Hiding is just a sign that the therapist needs to do their own internal work. If the following apply to you, I’d love to help enrich your EMDR journey:

✅ You see EMDR as a powerful treatment modality and want to wield it most effectively for your clients.

✅ You’re looking at the long-term implications for your career and want a guide who can help you get a taste of the possibilities that await.

✅ You consider your clients’ healing sacred and thus are open to considering multiple perspectives to help sharpen your EMDR skills. As a therapist, I take a holistic approach to guiding clients back to authenticity. As an EMDR consultant-in-training, this approach helps me help therapists bring out the best in themselves. In both cases, I believe in championing autonomy. Whether we’re talking about in sessions for your clients or outside sessions for your practice and your life, you can experience greater success as an EMDR therapist. EMDR will lead you there, so let’s let EMDR do all the work—together! Let’s team up to transform lives one session at a time.

Every EMDR therapist has had a moment where a case doesn’t move the way you expect. The SUDS won’t shift, the NC won’t budge, or the client keeps looping in the same place. It’s easy to call that “failure.” But it’s not.

Getting stuck is part of the process. It doesn’t mean you’re not a skilled EMDR therapist. It means the case needs a new angle, a fresh lens, or a different interweave. Sometimes that insight comes from experience. Other times, it comes from consultation.

The best therapists aren’t the ones who never hit walls. They’re the ones who know when to pause, widen their perspective, and bring curiosity back into the room.

Consultation isn’t weakness, it’s professional oxygen.

The right circle keeps both you and your clients breathing easier. Collaborate with safe peers. If you need to talk about a case then find a supportive group that will help you do that! If someone tries to make you feel less than for discussing a case then they are not a safe person. Everyone needs to discuss cases and collaboration helps makes us all better. Sometimes we’re in the thick of it with our clients and fresh perspective is helpful. Knowing you have a supportive group that will provide feedback and celebrate you is life giving. I tell my basic training groups all the time: this is a safe place to both ask questions AND humbly brag. We learn from our successes just as much as our struggles.

I am very much looking forward to meeting with my tribe at another training this week!

So many EMDR therapists get weighed down by perfectionism. The fear of making a mistake, missing a cue, or not asking the “right” question can take over the session. But here’s the truth: EMDR doesn’t need a flawless therapist. It needs one who can stay steady, grounded, and present.

Clients aren’t looking for perfection. What they are looking for is someone who can hold the space while their nervous system does the work. The most powerful EMDR sessions don’t come from being error-free. They come from a therapist who trusts the process enough to sit with it, even when it feels uncertain.

Presence is what creates safety. Presence is what allows healing. And presence is a skill you can keep strengthening through consultation.

👉 If you want to grow more confident and grounded in your EMDR practice, let’s talk about consultation. It’s where presence becomes your greatest strength. elenaengle.com

Don’t restrict/stop/delay EMDR because you’re uncomfortable.

Remember our clients have already survived these events, and have been coping and managing. So, if they’re saying they’re ready then get started. Help them find a safe place to lay it down to rest. They don't have to keep carrying their burdens. They don't have to keep skeletons in their closet. Always use your clinical judgement. Utilize your preparation phases appropriately and follow your client.

Don't get spooked. EMDR will help them.

There’s a moment in almost every EMDR therapist’s career where the work starts to feel heavier than it should. The sessions drain you, your nervous system feels maxed out, and you wonder if maybe you’re not cut out for this.

That feeling isn’t proof you’re in the wrong field. It’s proof you’ve been carrying too much alone. EMDR is powerful work, and it demands a lot from the therapists who hold it. You can’t keep giving without also receiving support.

Consultation isn’t just about solving clinical stuck points. It’s also about helping you stay grounded and connected in the work. When you share the weight with a trusted consultant, you stop questioning whether you can do this and start remembering why you chose to.

👉 If you’re an EMDR therapist feeling stretched thin, consultation can give you the clarity, confidence, and steadiness you need. Let’s talk. elenaengle.com

Mastery isn’t about collecting certifications. It’s about becoming fluent in the one approach that fits your style.

Get trained in something and get really good at it. Stop thinking you need more techniques, or skills, or trainings in order to be good enough. Try practicing without so many guardrails around you. Find your style, your niche, and maintain fidelity to the model. You’ll find with EMDR that most people just need the basic standard protocol. Do not deviate from that. Trust in the power of EMDR. Stop holding yourself, and your client, back.

Going to a state park and completing all the trails gives mastery over that land rather than just visiting once and moving on to the next park. You gotta start somewhere, why not right where you are?

When you’re first trained in EMDR, scripts feel like lifelines. They give you words to lean on, structure to follow, and reassurance that you’re “doing it right.” But, as every seasoned EMDR therapist eventually discovers, scripts aren’t what make the work powerful.

The best sessions happen when you can let go of the lines and lean into presence. EMDR works because the client’s brain knows where to go. Your role is to be steady, flexible, and responsive enough to follow. That balance of trusting the method and trusting yourself is what turns a protocol into real transformation.

If you’re ready to move beyond the script and grow into deeper confidence as an EMDR therapist, consultation can help you get there. It’s where skill becomes second nature, and presence becomes your strongest tool.

Your nervous system is your most important clinical tool. Keep it tuned with your own EMDR work.

Therapists, especially EMDR therapists, should get their own EMDR therapy. It will help prevent burnout, lessen compassion fatigue, and increase an overall understanding of your clients and what they will experience.

Bottom line: It will help you and you’re worth it.

A lot of EMDR therapists treat consultation like an optional add-on. Something you do if you have extra time, or if a case gets particularly challenging. But the truth is, consultation isn’t a luxury. It’s the backbone of ethical, sustainable practice.

The therapists who last in this field aren’t the ones who push through in isolation. They’re the ones who know that fresh perspective, collaboration, and case consultation are what keep their work sharp and their clients safer. EMDR is powerful work, and none of us are meant to carry it alone.

If you’re an EMDR therapist who wants to keep growing without burning out, consultation is the place where your practice gets stronger and your confidence steadier.

Safety is co-created. Our confidence as therapists gives clients permission to trust their own pace.

The client determines the threshold, not the therapist. We have to be okay allowing our clients to not be okay. Trying to swoop in and manage their pain for them, even with the best of intentions, can subconsciously tell our clients that we don’t think they can handle it. Holding a safe space for them allows them to experience that dual-awareness component of EMDR where they are reprocessing their distressing events while knowing they are currently safe with you. Give your client credit-they have already survived this. If the client feels confident that we can handle what they need to go through healing can happen.

If they are ready to walk through their trauma, then put on your poncho and rain boots. It’s time to wade in the water to help them find a safe place to lay their distress to rest.

Every time you sit with a client, your knowledge and skills in EMDR therapy come into play. You guide them through a carefully structured process that allows for the safe and effective reprocessing of traumatic memories. This process, while intricate, becomes a powerful tool for change when wielded by someone who truly understands its nuances.

This transformation is not just about alleviating symptoms; it's about fundamentally changing the way clients perceive and interact with their world. Through your expertise, you're not just treating trauma—you're helping clients rebuild their lives.

Ongoing pursuit of excellence in EMDR therapy is essential. Every workshop you attend, every piece of research you study, and every peer consultation you engage in, all contribute to your ability to provide the best possible care. This dedication to continuous improvement ensures that you remain at the forefront of therapeutic techniques, ready to offer the most effective and innovative approaches to your clients.
