If you've ever wondered… "Are we still processing?"—this might completely change your perspective.
Many EMDR therapists quietly believe that processing only "counts" if they're in Phase 4.
But what if that's the very belief creating unnecessary pressure, confusion, and self-doubt?
Processing isn't defined by where you are in the protocol.
It's defined by whether the nervous system is reorganizing.
Once you understand that, your sessions become clearer, calmer, and far more flexible. Watch the resent of the episode, The EMDR Processing Myth [Beneath The Protocol Series] here: https://youtu.be/65zZ0Xn9XgU
