Episode Synopsis
Enjoyed this episode? Send me a text with your biggest takeaway!Welcome back to another episode of the Future Template Parent Podcast! This week, I'm getting real about why nailing your basic EMDR training is the absolute foundation before diving into new modalities.If you’ve ever felt that nagging fear of “do I know enough?” — you’re definitely not alone. I'm pulling back the curtain on common therapist worries, weaving in insights from past episodes on dissociation and phase four to help you feel seen and supported.We'll dig into the often tricky balance between the core EMDR protocol and the complex realities therapists face in practice. Plus, why having a solid specialty matters, especially when it comes to knowing when to support an existing client’s unrelated challenges versus taking on a new client whose main issues fall outside your expertise.You'll also get a sneak peek into the wisdom behind my Client Workbook and how it can guide you in navigating these challenges with confidence.Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned EMDR therapist, this episode is packed with honest reflections and practical insights that you won’t want to miss.Topics covered in this episode:EMDR training and the "training industrial complexAddress fears about not knowing enough on Phase 4 in the EMDR ProtocolEMDR training and certificationConsultation with an experienced EMDR therapistDemocratizing knowledge in therapyLimitations of traditional training methods and finding alternativesEMDR training and consultation servicesVIP Day OfferConnect with Carolyn:Website: www.futuretemplateparent.com Instagram: @futuretemplateparentRelated episodes:Ep 21: EMDR phase 4 and overcoming fear in beginner cliniciansEp 18 Transforming EMDR Intensives With The Client WorkbookEp 2 How to Integrate EMDR Intensives Into Your Therapy PracticeQuote:“ I'm never gonna say don't get a training, I'm just saying that is not the only way.” - Carolyn
