Adjunct EMDR

Adjunct EMDR 

Adjunctive EMDR therapy is usually short-term but may also be needed as a longer-term approach where EMDR is integrated in the ongoing therapy of the client, especially for clients with complex trauma or dissociation. This modality does not replace the therapy with the primary therapist but instead clients see both therapists. Extended sessions (90-minutes) and participation in Intensive Program are also options. A consultation call with the client prior will help all parties determine the best approach.

It is common for clients to want to process and discuss what came up for them in the EMDR session with their primary therapist. This is part of the healing process as clients will integrate new learning, discuss new insights, or changed behaviors or responses to life and relationships. They may also make connections with new skills that they want to learn or apply to life experiences.
