EMDR Between Sessions: A Therapeutic Workbook

EMDR Between Sessions is a therapeutic workbook created to complement—not replace—the work you do with your therapist. Across 16 concise modules, it offers clear information about EMDR, the nervous system, beliefs, emotional distress, bilateral stimulation, and the integration of memories.

Each section pairs accessible psychoeducation with guided reflection, visual maps, rating scales, and space to write. The goal is not to process traumatic experiences on your own. Instead, the workbook helps you understand what may be happening, recognize signs of safety and change, strengthen internal and external resources, and arrive at sessions with greater clarity.

The calm, open design supports a self-paced experience. Readers can move through the workbook in order or go directly to the module that feels most relevant. The activities encourage curiosity, agency, and more informed conversation with a therapist.

This resource may be especially helpful for people beginning EMDR, wanting to understand the eight phases of treatment, or looking for a gentle structure for reflection between appointments. Trauma processing should always take place with a trained professional who can adapt treatment to the individual’s needs.

If an activity increases distress, pause and discuss it with your therapist.
