EMDR as You Are 12 Experts on Moving from Protocol to Presence

Bridge the gap between EMDR basic training and real-session confidence.Most EMDR clinicians leave basic training feeling inspired and completely unprepared for the unpredictable reality of real EMDR sessions. The steps on paper make sense, but real clients rarely follow a script. When stuck processing, dissociation, or attachment wounds show up, rigid reliance on the manual can leave therapists feeling uncertain, isolated, or questioning their own clinical competence.EMDR As You Are brings together 12 leading EMDR clinicians, consultants, and authors to offer a compassionate, practical, and ethical roadmap for moving beyond rigid protocol adherence toward authentic clinical presence.Edited by Rotem Brayer (author of The Art and Science of EMDR and founder of The EMDR Learning Community), this anthology demystifies high-level clinical work by sharing transparent accounts of real sessions, clinical adaptations, and the human side of expertise.Inside, you will discover how master clinicians integrate EMDR with essential therapeutic frameworks:Parts Work & IFS Integration: Navigate complex dissociation and protective parts without losing the standard protocol.Attachment-Informed Approaches: Work deeply with early relational trauma, misattunement, and preverbal wounds.Creative & Expressive Modalities: Utilize sandtray, art, ecotherapy, and nature-based metaphors for right-hemisphere processing.Somatic & Specialized Applications: Address chronic pain, medical trauma, somatic interweaves, and neurobiological-informed techniques.Depth & Transpersonal Perspectives: Harness Jungian active imagination, dreamwork, and spiritual resources in trauma recovery.Featuring candid contributions from Jackie Flynn, Robin Shapiro, Mark Brayne, Jennifer Marchand, Thomas Zimmerman, Oraine Ramoo, Jocelyn Fitzgerald, Andrew Dobo, Alexandra Dent, Mark Grant, Luna Medina-Wolf, and David Polidi.You don't have to change who you are to become an exceptional EMDR therapist.
