Walk into every EMDR Intensive already knowing your client.

A comprehensive, trauma-informed client workbook that builds your clinical picture before the first session begins — so your intensive time goes toward healing, not history-taking.

You've done the training. You understand the protocol. You're ready to start offering EMDR Intensives.


But there's a gap that most trainings don't talk about:

  • How do you actually prepare a client for this kind of deep, condensed work?
  • How do you arrive at the first session with enough clinical context to use that time well?

Most therapists spend the early part of an intensive doing what could have been done beforehand. Getting history. Orienting the client. Establishing goals.

By the time you're ready to do the real work, you've already used a significant chunk of your time.

There's a better way.

What changes when your client arrives prepared


When a client has worked through a thoughtful, trauma-informed pre-intensive workbook, something shifts. They've already reflected on their history, named their treatment goals, identified their resourcing strategies, and begun orienting to the process.

And you've already read it all.

You walk in with a clinical picture that would typically take two or three sessions to build. You know the attachment patterns, the negative cognitions that feel most charged, the losses that are still unresolved, the grounding strategies that actually work for this person.

That's not just efficient.

That's better clinical care.

What's Inside

The EMDR Intensives Client Workbook is a 53-page, fillable PDF designed to be completed by your client before your intensive begins.

Here's what it covers:

01.

Preparing


Orients your client to the EMDR intensive process, what to expect during and after sessions, and how to prepare practically. Includes a clear explanation of EMDR written for clients — which means you don't have to start from scratch in session. Clients arrive informed, not anxious about the unknown.

02.

Treatment Goals


Guides clients through identifying concerns across four domains: actions and behaviors, emotions, thoughts, and body sensations. By the time they finish this section, your collaborative goal-setting conversation at the start of the intensive is just that — a conversation, not an excavation.

03.

History


This is where the clinical depth lives. Covers childhood history, adult history, trauma history, negative cognitions across four clinical themes (Power /Control, Responsibility, Safety /Vulnerability, and Connection /Belonging), attachment and relationship patterns, and grief and loss.

04.

Resources


Explores existing coping strategies, inner strengths, sensory tools, supportive relationships, calm place imagery, and protective presences — everything you need to begin the resourcing phase of your intensive with solid ground beneath you.

This workbook was designed for you if:

  • You're trained in EMDR and beginning to offer intensives, and you want a professionally designed, clinically grounded tool to put in your clients' hands — without spending weeks building one yourself.
  • You want your clients to arrive at the intensive already oriented, already reflective, and already thinking about their goals and resources.
  • You want to use your intensive time for the actual therapeutic work, not for laying groundwork that could have been done in advance.
  • You don't need to build this from scratch. This one is ready.

With this workbook in your practice, you can expect:

  • A richer, more complete clinical picture before your first intensive session begins — built from your client's own reflections, in their own words, at their own pace.
  • Clients who arrive more oriented, more regulated, and more ready to engage in the work.
  • Intensive time used for what it's meant for: deep, focused, efficient trauma processing.
  • A tool that communicates care and professionalism to your clients before they ever set foot in your office.
