Collection Benefits

A Creative Collection of Tools & Resources

for EMDR Therapists Working with Children & Youth



Therapist Guides: most phase activities come with an individual "Therapist Guide" which walks you through the practical piece of the activity and discusses its purpose and relevance for facilitating.

Scripts: give therapists the language to facilitate the activity, these scripts are a verbal starting point and can be altered if the purpose of the phase activity is achieved

Increase Therapeutic success: The wide selection of In-Session worksheets makes EMDR therapy easier for therapists to facilitate and are also appealing to kids - keeping their attention, getting them to engage and increasing buy-in and the likelihood of therapeutic success.

Time Saving: most therapists don't have the time to develop elaborate worksheets in the day-to-day hustle and bustle. In-Session worksheets offers you pre-made EMDR worksheets you can easily access and rely on and support you to practice more intentionally.

Modifications that Make Sense: based on the psycho-social developmental stage of the child or teen as well as being mindful of cultural nuances and implications of these ages. The In-Session resources are primarily for school-age children. 6-12 and teens 13-18. The modifications will always stick to the desired outcomes of the standard protocol.

Session Focus if you work with children, you know that it doesn't take much at times to get caught up in a chaotic session. Or with teens you can sometimes get stuck in a loop, or with the issue of the day. Using the resources gives you direction and focus during therapy and helps you practice more intentionally.

Gain Confidence: new practitioners will gain confidence as they work through the resources and learn to facilitate the 8 phases of EMDR with children and youth. Seasoned practitioners will appreciate the EMDR resource’s appeal to kids, ease of use and modifications that still adhere to the fidelity of the standard protocol.

Track Your Work: when you've created a workbook for your client its easy to see right where you left off and for you and the child to see all the progress they've made and perhaps even show them what activity is coming up for the following week, so they know what to expect.

Research-based (EMDRIA site journals & books) and sticks to standard protocol fidelity. The instructor has extensive training and clinical experience working with children and youth and has integrated this knowledge into the course activities.
