EMDR with Carly

My basic training was in November 2019 and then COVID happened so we all went 100% virtual.

Before I really did EMDR virtually as a therapist, I started as a client! Having a virtual EMDR therapist myself made me a believer that EMDR virtually is just as effective.

My therapist used bilateralstimulation.io so of course I started to use that too.

Since then I have upgraded my account to the paid version and it’s the most used subscription I have!

You can
- save clients specific settings
-upload photos for the background screen which really helps with activation or visualizing positives too.
- more options for the ball on the screen
- more kid friendly options
- ball moves in different angles
- since learning more about EMDR 2.0 I really like these features even more

Last chance to sign up for the workshop tomorrow on working with Birth Trauma as an EMDR therapist!

If you've ever found yourself wondering...

What if my client experienced a traumatic birth, but that's not why they came to therapy?
What if my client had a NICU stay?
What if they've experienced a miscarriage or pregnancy loss?
What if they're carrying grief from infertility or IVF?
What if they've had a stillbirth?
What if they experienced a medically complicated pregnancy?
What if they describe feeling disconnected from their baby after birth?
What if they carry guilt, shame, or a sense that they "failed" during labor and delivery?
What if they become activated every time they think about becoming pregnant again?
What if they say, "Everyone tells me I should just be grateful my baby is healthy"?

These experiences are far more common than many clinicians realize, and they're often overlooked in EMDR case conceptualization.

One of the questions I get from EMDR therapists is what do I use for virtual EMDR sessions?

I finally put together a blog sharing the platform I use, my favorite features, and why it's become a regular part of my virtual EMDR sessions.

If you're looking for a telehealth tool, I hope it's helpful!

The AIP Model (Adaptive Information Processing) is the foundation of EMDR.

It suggests that your brain is naturally designed to process and heal from experiences — but when something overwhelming happens, the memory can get stuck instead of fully processed.

When memories stay stuck, they don’t feel like the past.
They feel like they’re still happening now.

That’s why clients might:
• React strongly to certain triggers
• Feel emotions that seem bigger than the current situation
• Hold beliefs like “I’m not safe” or “I’m not good enough”
• Feel it in their body without fully knowing why

EMDR helps the brain reprocess these stuck memories so they can be integrated in a more adaptive way.

The memory doesn’t disappear —
but the distress, intensity, and negative beliefs begin to shift.

This is the Adaptive Information Processing Model —
and it’s the reason EMDR focuses on past experiences, present triggers, and future responses.

Your brain is wired to heal.
Sometimes it just needs a little help finishing the job.

If you’re an EMDR therapist and want to learn more about when to speak up when your client seems stuck in emdr, comment “GUIDE” and I’ll send you my freebie about cognitive interweaves!

My inner dialogue as an EMDR therapist…
“Should I say something?”
“Are they getting overwhelmed?”
“Did we pick the right target?”

If you’ve ever had these thoughts…you’re definitely not alone.

This is exactly why cognitive interweaves matter.
They help you feel more confident in real EMDR sessions, not just training.

I made a Cognitive Interweaves Guide to help you know when and what to say.

Comment GUIDE and I’ll send it to you.
