You learned the protocol.
But real EMDR sessions don’t follow a script.
You might find yourself second guessing:
Am I moving too fast?
What target do we pick?
Is this dissociation?
Am I doing this right?
Beyond the Manual helps you move from memorizing phases to trusting your clinical judgment.
“I created this based on my own experience after EMDR training. I felt s0 inspired... and like a fish out of water”
I also noticed the majority of therapists in my Basic Training didn’t go on the become certified and seemed to just “drop off” and not use EMDR at all.
I got curious about this and felt inspired to help therapists through this gap.

Is this course for you?
It is for you if:
✅ You’ve completed EMDR Basic Training… but still feel unsure in real sessions
✅ You worry about causing harm or moving too fast with your clients
✅ You find yourself second-guessing during reprocessing
✅ You’re not always sure how to choose the right target
✅ You sometimes freeze in session and don’t know what to say next
✅ You want to trust yourself and feel more confident using EMDR
It’s not for you if:
❌ You have not completed EMDR Basic Training yet
❌ You’re looking only for advanced specialty protocols
❌ You already feel highly confident running EMDR sessions independently
❌ You’re not currently using EMDR (or planning to use it soon)
❌ You’re looking for rigid scripts rather than developing clinical judgment
❌ Your priority is just getting consultation hours for certification
DON’T Just TAKE
IT FROM Me…
“Carly has been such an amazing support and teacher on my EMDR journey. She has helped me elevate my practice and EMDR skills. I have struggled with different phases and through her help I feel ready to dive into EMDR with clients, setting-up targets and even just giving a client buzzers and letting them “go with that”. She has helped me learn that flexibility is okay in EMDR and I use it more consistently with clients. Now about 85% of my caseload is an EMDR client.”
Gabby Slifkin, Trauma + Art Therapist in PA“Carly gave me the confidence that I didn’t know I had inside of me. She made EMDR less intimidating and explained things in a way I could really understand for real sessions. I can’t wait for the course!
I’m excited to have something tangible I can go back to.”
Stephanie Majetich, Play Therapist & EMDR“I have been coming to Carly for support since I got basic trained. She truly is the reason why I feel confident using EMDR! She helped me understand each phase of EMDR and how to problem solve in each phase. She is personable and overall lovely person! If you are thinking about purchasing this course, do it!”

This course focuses on real-world application…how to think, decide, and respond during actual EMDR sessions.It was built after my own experience after basic training.
I also noticed the vast majority of therapists I did Basic Training with didn’t even complete the 10 hours of consultation after and never went on to be certified, they just didn’t stick with it. That made me think why?! and I wanted to create this course to help solve that problem.
