🤣 sometimes it is nice and peaceful and other times it might feel like walking out of battle

This is such a common “block” people can have in therapy.

They don’t want to cry in session.
You can find the negative belief attached to that by asking something like, “what would be so bad about crying right now?” Or “what would it say about you if you burst into tears right now?”

When we hit a block in EMDR I think it’s a great opportunity to stay curious about it and explore it more, the block needs targeted before we can really go deeper.

Wonderful simple explanation!

First of all, let’s give a shout out to Francine Shapiro for coming up with EMDR in the first place but damnnnnn why couldn’t she choose the same number scale for the SUD and VOC?! 🤯🤣

I actually tried to do research on this to find out why and got some vague answers…the SUD scale is taken from other behavioral test/scales SUD 0-10 or 0-100 are typical options so she chose the simpler one (thank you for that).

BUT the VOC scale being from 1-7 was harder to find! You know how scales that have specific answers like totally, somewhat, both, not really, never - I think that’s they why behind the VOC being different numbers 🤷‍♀️ but who am I! lol

I just really took a deep dive into thinking about this the other day when I got stumped trying to explain the VOC question to my client.

Anyone else fumble if their words with this part?

3 things you can do today to help build your brand as an EMDR Consultant:

1. Create a Flyer - on Canva that showcases who you are, what you offer, and how to book. Post it on all the EMDR FB groups, send it in a newsletter, or any other way you can get the word out there. Always best to add the direct link someone can click on and easily book! Flyers are eye catching if done right and can make the difference.

2. Come up with your social media strategy - this doesn’t have to be intense, just jot down 4-6 content pillars to keep you organized with your content and maybe plan out where you want to post like TikTok, Instagram, fb, or LinkedIn, how often and certain types of content on specific days (more educational, trendy, funny, talking reels, posts, etc) I personally think it’s best to focus on one platform that you feel most comfortable on and go from there!

3. Try to get backlinks - or decide HOW you will try to get backlinks. One free idea is to pitch quotes on QWOTED. It can be hard to get a quote chosen but the reward can be high because there’s big name magazines. Also reaching out to your college or university is a great way to try and get linked on a .edu website.

✨I’m an EMDRIA Approved Consultant and love helping EMDR Therapist step into their role as a consultant! Which to me also includes the business side of things like how to market yourself to actually get consultees!

Comment “consultant” and I’ll (or manychat will) send you the waitlist for the next CIT Collective in 2026.

I was so inspired by the keynote speaker at EMDRIA! Just signed up for the EMDR 2.0 training 🙂
