The Secret Most EMDR Therapists Don’t Talk About

The Secret Most EMDR Therapists Don’t Talk About

You’ve taken the training.
You know the protocols.
You’ve practiced, read, even done advanced workshops…

And still—there are moments in session where you think:
→ “Is this even the right target?”
→ “Are they blended—or just dysregulated?”
→ “Do I pause… or keep going?”

You’re not alone.

Even seasoned trauma therapists second-guess.
Not because they’re undertrained…

But because protocols don’t teach us the moment-to-moment nuance:

🌀 How to track a nervous system that’s shifting mid-session
🌀 How to hear a legacy burden rising before the client has words
🌀 How to know when a “breakthrough” is premature—or real

As Janina Fisher says:
“Clients don’t talk about their parts. They become them.”

This is why we need to learn how to track
--> Shifting
--> Blending 
--> Switching 
In the moment. 

And as Scott Miller reminds us:
“Progress isn’t what we think is happening. It’s what the client feels shifting inside.”

Most therapists were never taught how to:
✅ Map IFS parts in real time
✅ Track somatic cues with clarity
✅ Identify and work with shame-based core beliefs
✅ Know when to move, and when to hold

And they don’t have a place to talk it through.

That’s what my Integrative Trauma Training Cohort was built for.
✨ It’s not just CE hours.
✨ It’s clinical refinement.
✨ Weekly mentorship. Real case reflection.
✨ A space where nuance, pacing, and presence are honored.

Because therapy is deep work.
But it doesn’t have to be isolating.

And confidence?
It’s not something you magically have.
It’s something we build—together.
