EMDR Consultation

As an Approved EMDRIA Consultant in training (CIT), I offer supportive EMDR Consultation groups designed for clinicians working towards EMDRIA certification. These groups are structured to deepen your clinical confidence, strengthen case conceptualization, and support you in integrating EMDR with complex and dissociative presentations.

The structure for this cohort will be as follows:

Session1. Beyond Readiness: When the Client Says “I’m Ready”

  • Readiness vs. compliance

  • Subtle dissociation

  • What are we assessing beyond verbal agreement?

  • Identifying hidden barriers before processing

Session 2. Phase 2 Somatic Resources

  • Polyvagal exercises to help resource the client to the work

  • Recognizing Dorsal Shutdown/Dissociation in the room

Session 3. When EMDR Gets Stuck

  • Processing loops

  • Interweaves (Somatic, relational, Cognitive)

  • SUD/VOC shifts that don't make clinical sense

  • Client intellectualization

  • Emotional over-regulation

  • “I know this already” responses

  • Is the target stuck—or is something protecting the client?

Session 4. Dissociation in the EMDR Room

  • Subtle vs. overt dissociative responses

  • Shifts in state

  • Parts language

  • Depersonalization/derealization

  • Procedural compliance

  • How to recognize when “calm” isn't regulation

Session 5. When Preparation Isn't Enough

  • Performative stabilization vs. embodied regulation

  • What happens when the client does everything “right” but becomes increasingly disconnected?

  • When to slow down, modify, or return to preparation

  • Building tolerance rather than simply teaching skills

Session 6. The Clinical Decision Room

  • Bring the difficult cases

  • What are we seeing?

  • What might we be missing?

  • Is this a readiness issue, a processing issue, a dissociative adaptation, an attachment issue—or some combination?

  • Develop a treatment plan and next steps In these groups, we discuss attachment wounds and attachment styles; brain predictability; how to incorporate somatic stabilization and learn somatic exercises to expand phase 2 and how to incorporate IFS/Parts work to manage dysregulation and dissociation.

This is a cohesive consultation package that combines group learning with individualized support.

We will be spending approximately 15-20 minutes each session to learn about these different areas, we will discuss cases related to these different areas and apply key concepts to cases.

6 Group Consultation Sessions for 2 hours each on October 23, November 20, December 18, January 22, 2027, February 19th and March 19th 2PM-4PM EST. These 6 groups met the EMDRIA 10- hour group criteria for certification.
