Manage episode 456161706 series 3625454
Welcome to the second episode of the Liberated Trauma Therapist Club! I’m your host, Danik Bernier, certified EMDR therapist, consultant-in-training, and mom of two. In this episode, we dive into a common challenge many EMDR therapists face: how to convert talk therapy clients to EMDR therapy. If you’ve ever wondered how to introduce your clients to EMDR or felt unsure about explaining this unique approach, you’re in the right place.
In today’s discussion, I cover:
- The importance of getting comfortable with feeling like a newbie and embracing the learning curve.
- Why perfectionism and over-reliance on standard protocol can hold you back.
- Practical ways to explain EMDR to your clients in a simple, approachable manner.
- Creative strategies to use EMDR beyond trauma therapy, such as nervous system regulation and performance enhancement.
Plus, I’ll share a step-by-step breakdown of how I introduce EMDR to my own clients in a way that’s clear, easy to understand, and effective. If you’re struggling with imposter syndrome as an EMDR therapist, be sure to check out Episode 1 for tips to boost your confidence.
