FAQs - EMDR Consultation

EMDR consultation is all about getting guidance and support from a seasoned, certified EMDR consultant. This helps trained EMDR therapists sharpen their skills, boost their effectiveness, and become more marketable.  Consultation via CL emphasizes providing a shame-free and non-judgmental space to inspire you to excel in your EMDR practice.

Sessions often include case discussions, addressing any difficulties or protocol questions, education/review of specialized EMDR protocols, and opportunity for feedback.

Prepare case notes, specific questions or concerns, session recordings (if applicable and with client consent), and any relevant documentation to facilitate productive discussions.

 EMDR consultation provides clinicians with expert guidance and support, enhancing their skills and confidence in navigating complex cases. It ensures adherence to best practices, improving client outcomes and professional growth.

For EMDRIA certification, you typically need 20 hours of consultation, with at least 10 of those hours being individual consultation. Check specific requirements on the EMDRIA website.

 Continued consultation can be beneficial for professional development as it can establish you as an expert in the field, allow for processing of ongoing challenges, and will keep you updated with the latest EMDR practices and research.
