In Part 2 of this two-part conversation, we’re continuing to unpack some of the common pitfalls EMDR therapists encounter along the way, including pushing for a positive cognition that isn’t there yet, becoming too attached to the outcome, overchecking SUD levels throughout reprocessing, and offering developmental repair before a client is ready. We explore how these missteps can impact the course of therapy, what to pay attention to in the moment, and how to recognize when our clinical intentions may not align with what our clients need so we can adjust our approach and get back on track.

The EMDR Consultation Corner is a podcast for EMDR therapists who want to deepen their clinical thinking, navigate complex cases, and make more intentional decisions in their work.

Hosted by Maraeca Butler, LPC, and Christina Allen, LCPC — EMDRIA Approved Consultants and Certified EMDR Therapists.
