The EMDR Flip Chart: a Psychoeducational Tool to Help Clients Reprocess Traumatic Memories, Build Resiliency, and Activate the Brain’S Natural Healing Capacity

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful approach that helps clients break free from the wounds of their past and rebuild their lives. In The EMDR Flip Chart, you will find a variety of interactive tools to help you safely and effectively educate clients on this framework and build their capacity for trauma work.

Designed for EMDR-trained therapists, this resourcing guide includes targeted tools and strategies to support phases 1 and 2 while helping you build the client readiness needed to begin processing. Clients will learn how to:

• Identify underlying symptoms of distress
• Learn the neuroscience behind traumatic memories
• Develop strong resources in preparation for reprocessing
• Select target memories for treatment
• Build dual-awareness strategies
• Identify emotions, body sensations, and core beliefs associated with the target (VOC and SUD)

Intended for in-session use, this flip chart features:

• A two-sided, 9" by 12" design that stands upright for easy visibility and portability
• 20 full-color diagrams and exercises on client-facing pages with detailed explanations and supplemental prompts on therapist-facing pages
• Dry-erase surface on client-facing pages for easy markup, customization, and reuse
