Cassidy DuHadway, LCSW Unlearn. Go deeper. Show up as your whole damn self.

I help therapists become better therapists through real, in-depth trauma trainings, consultation, and support that brings authenticity, skill, and purpose back into the work.

The hardest part about stopping people pleasing is not saying no.

It is surviving the discomfort after.

When you are wired to scan, soften, fix, and absorb, silence feels dangerous. You start looking for the next task, the next repair, the next way to smooth it over.

But sometimes the next step is nothing.
Sometimes the work is letting them feel what they feel.

If this one hits, it might be time to ask yourself when you learned it was your job to manage everyone else’s emotions.

Getting EMDR trained is the easy part.

Becoming a grounded, ethical trauma therapist takes more.

Depth over ego.
Pacing over performance.
Consultation over isolation.

Train accordingly.

Comment me “EMDR2026” for our next EMDR training. Or if you want ongoing consultation options comment “CONSULT”

This is bigger than one award show moment.

In relationships, families, churches, workplaces, and culture, people often respond from their own trauma, wiring, or history. And sometimes that still hurts someone else.

Intent explains behavior.
Impact requires repair.

If we want safer relationships and safer communities, we have to learn to hold both.

If you think a session is “stuck,” pause before you push.

When processing slows down, shuts down, or floods, that is not failure. That is information about capacity.

Too many clinicians were trained to equate movement with progress. So when things stall, the instinct is to do more. Push harder. Intensify.

But trauma work is not about force.

It is about precision.

Every stuck moment is a decision point. You are learning about pacing. About attachment. About nervous system tolerance. About what is online and what still needs support.

You try the smallest move first.
You watch the response.
You titrate from there.

This is true in EMDR.
It is true in parts work.
It is true in exposure.
It is true in every form of trauma treatment.

If you are reading the system, you are doing good work.

Save this for the next time you feel the urge to push.

Let this shift how you think about “stuck” in trauma therapy.

If you want to join me at my next EMDR training or ready to jump into consult, let’s chat. Looking forward to meeting you.

Most EMDR trainings teach you the protocol.

We teach you how to think.

If you want to work with complex trauma, dissociation, attachment wounds, religious trauma, ADHD, or clients who say they had a “good childhood” but still feel broken, you need more than memorizing the 8 phases.

In this EMDR Basic Training, we go deeper.

You will learn how to:

• Apply the AIP model to real cases
• Recognize and work with dissociation
• Understand core belief formation and transformation
• Conceptualize complex trauma clearly
• Use EMDR confidently with actual clients

This is EMDRIA approved.
40 CEs.
10 consultation hours included.
Real practicum. Real feedback. Real skill building.

March 26 to 28 and May 13 to 15, 2026
Salt Lake City, Utah

Registration closes March 15.

If you want the details, pricing, and early registration info, DM me the word TRAINING and I will send you the link.

Let’s build therapists who know what they are doing.

When I first learned EMDR, I was taught:

Stay out of the way.
Be quiet.
Trust the client.

And yes. That’s true.

But here’s what I had to learn the hard way:

Staying quiet isn’t the same as trusting yourself.

EMDR isn’t passive.

It’s knowing when to hold back, when to lean in, and how to add an interweave without hijacking the process.

It’s not about talking more.

It’s about trusting your clinical intuition enough to intervene with precision.

And then trying it.

If you’re following the protocol perfectly but still feeling unsure…

You’re not doing it wrong.

You’re growing.

If you’re ready to stop guessing in the room,
Comment “DEPTH”.

Or if you are ready to get trained in EMDR comment “EMDR2026” for our next Basic EMDR training.

You’re allowed to think in the room.

02/11/2026

If your EMDR sessions feel repetitive
If clients stay in story instead of shifting
If you secretly wonder whether you’re doing it right

It’s usually not the protocol.

It’s clinical depth.

Most therapists were trained to follow steps.
Very few were trained to think inside the phases.

If you want sharper interweaves
Cleaner targets
More confidence with complex trauma

DM me DEPTH for consultation options.

And if you’re ready to get trained in EMDR in 2026, not just use it, DM EMDR2026 for training details.

You don’t need more worksheets.

You need stronger clinical thinking.
