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.

One of the biggest traps for EMDR therapists is believing you need to have all the answers. The “right” target, the “right” cognition, the “right” interweave. But EMDR isn’t about knowing everything in advance. EMDR is about staying curious as the process unfolds.

When you bring curiosity into the room, you take the pressure off yourself and open the door for the client’s nervous system to lead. That’s when EMDR does its best work. Not from you having all the solutions, but from you being steady enough to follow where the process takes you.

Consultation is where curiosity gets reinforced. It reminds you that you don’t have to do this alone, and that even experienced therapists grow sharper by asking good questions, not by pretending to have all the answers.

Anger gets a bad reputation, but sometimes it’s the part of you that finally refuses to be dismissed. It’s the moment your body says, “This isn’t right.”

When you stop trying to quiet it and instead listen, it can turn into clarity, self-trust, even pride.

You don’t have to fear your anger. Sometimes it’s the proof you still believe you matter.

When I stopped trying to quiet my anger and actually listened, it turned into something unexpectedly healing. In my latest blog post, I write about what that looked like in real life, how one frustrating moment turned into something quite transformative:

Choosing the right Negative Cognition (NC) makes all the difference. Subtle word choices shift everything. The difference between “I’m not safe” and “I’m in danger” changes the entire session.

If you can get the correct NC it makes a world of difference. It drives the session. Notice the difference between passive and active language such as, “I should have done something,” versus “It’s all my fault.” When you begin Phase 4 and your clients notices a lot of other negative cognitions (NCs) coming up then congratulations: you’ve chosen the correct NC. It produced a lot of robust information.

Remember we want our client to be able to generalize as much as possible: getting all the puzzle pieces and putting them together.

There’s a reason some EMDR therapists thrive for decades while others burn out after just a few years. The work itself is intense. Trauma therapy asks a lot of your nervous system, your presence, and your capacity to hold space. Doing it in isolation will drain you.

The ones who last aren’t the ones with superhuman stamina. They’re the ones with a circle; a place to process cases, share the weight, and know they’re not carrying this work alone. Consultation isn’t just about clinical growth. It’s about sustainability.

When EMDR therapists build strong consultation circles, they don’t just get better at the work. They get to stay in it without sacrificing their own wellbeing.

Sometimes the biggest shifts in your career don’t come from new tools, they come from deepening what you already know.

When I became certified in EMDR, I expected skill refinement. What I didn’t expect was the ripple effect: new kinds of clients, deeper trust, and a steadier sense of purpose.

The “hidden” benefits of certification aren’t about visibility; they’re about resonance. When your work speaks clearly, the right people start to hear it.

Did you know the VA endorses EMDR Therapy?

Veterans and their families deserve access to treatments that truly help — and EMDR is one of those proven therapies; giving more veterans the opportunity to heal.

Thank you for your service!

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?
