Before purchase, please check with your therapist on which option you should select.
Why do we use the Guidebook?
This guidebook set was designed for you to use before and during EMDR. The QuickStart holds many screening questionnaires that help give your therapist a better understanding on how they can use EMDR to best help you heal, as well as gives you more information about what EMDR is and how it works.
Once you get started with EMDR, the Guidebook will walk you through exercises to give you a better idea about resourcing, things to notice during treatment and between sessions, and will eventually be a reminder of all the work you've accomplished. We want you to get the most out of your treatment, especially outside of our office.
What do I do after downloading?
You will get a zip file with a couple different things inside. To extract the files inside, click on the zip file and right-click, then click "Extract All."
You'll see an instructional file, which includes information on how to fill in the documents and send them back to our office, a "QuickStart" and a "Guidebook." Please note, there are two versions: a computer version, and a printable version. You only need to do one!
Before your first session, we'll need you to fill in the "QuickStart" and send it back. You are welcome to read through the Guidebook, but you DO NOT need to fill anything out before your first session. Your therapist will walk you through the next steps during the first session.
