Episode notes
Managing Oversharing
- Assess the client's need to overshare before starting EMDR processing.
- Ask them to tell the story of the target at a high level to clear out the compulsive urge to overshare.
Assessment Activation
- Completing the assessment worksheet can be too activating for some clients.
- This is why some clinicians have been trained to do assessments separately.
Assessment Length
- The length of assessment often depends on the client's familiarity with EMDR and the stage of treatment.
- It can be longer initially and shorten as therapy progresses and themes emerge.
