EMDR Session Log for Clinicians
This downloadable and printable form is useful for any EMDR practitioners, especially those who have only recently completed their initial training. This session log contains prompts for all the necessary information gathered during EMDR reprocessing and can help you remember all the steps of the process as you do it. In addition to the downloadable and fillable PDF file, I have also provided a plain text version for you to copy and paste into your EHR software or wherever else you do digital note taking.
Approaching Parts with Compassion: Compassion-Focused Parts Work
Central to the counseling I provide, is my work with clients to develop their capacity for compassion. I guide them in taking a compassionate stance as they make contact with their whole selves including their internalized shame. Most clients find giving compassion to others far easier and more natural than offering the same compassion to ourselves. Clinically, I have found that parts work can be an effective means of developing a compassionate relationship with oneself. Through compassionate contact with parts of themselves, I have witnessed clients grow and heal. This post describes some of the key principles that guide the parts work interventions I do with clients.
