EMDR Preparation Phase: Explanation and Demonstration

An OnDemand Course

The Preparation Phase is the most important Phase to insure your client's success with EMDR. This one-hour course combines lecture and client demonstration to highlight best practices for this phase.

Course Description:

This one-hour video shows Stacy doing Phase 2 with a real client. The video starts with Stacy explaining how she does the Preparation Phase with clients, and then follows with a demonstration with a client, including discussion of the Window of Tolerance and Calm Place.

This is the first in a series of client demonstration videos. However, the following two videos (EMDR Treatment Planning and EMDR Live Client Demonstration: Phases 3-7) are not necessary follow ups, as this is also a stand-alone complete demonstration of a Preparation Phase.
