September 2024 Week 3

Rise + Shine!

After a busy week, it's time to rinse + repeat!

Today we're expanding on phase 2 of EMDR - the preparation phase...

In this phase, we've already learned a lot about our client and now get to build resources with + for them.

Helping them discover their safe space is a great start! It may seem complicated, but let's stop and think about it for a second..

What or where is YOUR safe space?

An example of your safe space can be helpful to the client in finding theirs, if that's something you're comfortable sharing!

We can also use a sandtray and/or the resources around us to help visually create that safe space - just like what Claudia told us about her experience with her therapist! So good!!

This is a great article that walks you through how to create a safe space with your client!

And for even MORE resources on EMDR as a whole, here's a link to videos from one of the people Claudia mentioned in our video --> Jackie Flynn !

Some good stuff!!

See ya,

Amy
