I feel like we are getting more and more referrals where people are specifically seeking out EMDR therapy.

My practice, .counseling.nook, is located in West Virginia. love my state but we are notoriously a little “behind the times” so the fact we are getting referrals for EMDR tell me the rest of the world is too!

This is just another reason I think there’s a real benefit to getting fully Certified in EMDR after basic training.

Anyone else struggle to keep up with all the deadlines?

I wish everyone could get on the same page and we just set a date to renew all of our licenses and certifications.

My LICSW is every two years but it’s random, just whenever you choose not a set date for everyone. Then my EMDR Certification is every 2 years as well!

Sometimes EMDR is helping a clients brain and body connect the dots and rewrite the story a little bit.

So instead of…

“I have to be the responsible one”
We now believe “I can recognize appropriate responsibility” AND when I was 4, I was a child and children are not responsible for the adults around them.

Anyone else struggle with this?!

Who doesn’t love a good ole talk session?! I love it. But I do always remind myself if someone has come to me specifically for EMDR therapy then it’s sort of my job to provide that, right?!

This can be so hard for us therapists that aren’t used to initiating something in the therapy office because we are just following the clients lead.

Our favorite joke as EMDR therapists 😂
