Hi, I am Anu,
I am an EMDRIA approved consultant. I remember when I started my Basic EMDR training. The first weekend was so informative but overwhelming at the same time.
The 5 hours of consultation after the first weekend of training was very helpful in sorting my thoughts and understanding of the model.
The 5 hours of consultation after the second weekend did the same. Then I realized that I needed continued consultation to keep using this model, otherwise it’s very easy to slip into using my old techniques of CBT and talk therapy.
I really wanted to get proficient in EMDR because talk therapy stopped working after a point with my trauma clients.
This led me to collect consultation hours towards certification. I got trained in IFS from the IFSI in Level 1 & 2 and I started combining EMDR with IFS.
I am also trained in Ego state and IFS informed EMDR Phase II. I have noticed that the combination of IFS and EMDR works very well for my clients.

Being able to guide consultees with their stuckness by getting curious and bringing in your uniqueness and experience.

When I was in group consultation someone had commented that my case presentations helped them learn how to use EMDR with high functioning clients. Most of my clients are high functioning, but have had childhood emotional trauma that show up in their adult life as anxiety, low-self esteem, people- pleasing, they find themselves with emotionally unavailable and sometimes toxic people. I use EMDR and IFS with all of them to help them heal from a deeper place and unburden the negative beliefs. Along with that, in consultation we work through counter transference and learn to use EMDR and IFS for client who disassociate due to trauma and high stress.

- You are new to EMDR and want help integrating it into your practice.
