What is EMDR Consultation?
EMDR consultation refers to a collaborative process where a clinician receives support and feedback to improve their delivery of EMDR therapy. The primary goal is to enhance the clinician’s skillset, ensure adherence to the standardized EMDR protocols, and navigate any challenges that may arise during treatment. This process is essential for those looking to deepen their therapeutic practice or seeking EMDR certification.
