What to expect in consultation?
One thing I have learned as a consultee is that every consultant is different. EMDRIA continues to look for ways to become more standardized and I will stay updated on this information.
Here’s what you can expect with me:
Come prepared to talk about particular cases that are presenting difficulties.
Demonstrate your work in each phase of EMDR.
Outline the issues that you are having and the specific areas in which you see a need for assistance.
Provide transcripts or video clips of sessions.
Be teachable. Stay open to learning new things and accepting feedback. That’s why you are here.
How are you being evaluated?
The following is from the EMDRIA.org website:
1. Adherence to EMDR Fidelity (EFRS)
Consultants use the 5-part EMDR Fidelity Rating Scale (EFRS) to ensure the clinician adheres to the standard, eight-phase, three-pronged protocol (past, present, future) developed by Francine Shapiro.
2. Client Outcome Metrics (Clinical Indicators)
Consultees are assessed on their ability to help clients achieve specific, in-session, and post-session results:
3. Competency in Specific Techniques
3-Pronged Approach: Verification that the clinician is processing past memories, present triggers, and future templates.
Resource Development and Installation (RDI): Effective preparation (Phase 2) to ensure client stability.
Stabilization: Ability to recognize and manage dissociation and keep the client within the Window of Tolerance.
4. Data-Driven Evidence (Work Samples)
Consultants require concrete evidence of the consultee's work, including: Case Presentations, Video Recording Reviews, and Documentation Review
5. Professionalism and Growth
Ethical Practice: Adherence to EMDRIA’s Professional Code of Conduct.
Self-Reflection: The ability of the consultee to identify their own areas of growth, manage personal reactions/biases, and accept feedback.
Curiosity/Growth Mindset: Active participation in learning beyond basic training.
