Introduction
EMDR therapy can be intimidating for newly trained clinicians. This article addresses common fears that may hinder clinicians from implementing standard EMDR reprocessing procedures and provides practical steps to overcome these challenges.
Three Common Fears
Three common fears can inhibit newly EMDR trained clinicians from using standard EMDR reprocessing procedures. These are:
1) The fear of leaving the client more disturbed (worsening symptoms) than before reprocessing.
2) The fear of the clinician experiencing vicarious traumatization from exposure to aspects of the client’s memory.
3) The fear of not being able to adequately use standard EMDR therapy procedures.

Notable among the three RCTs is a study from China by Zhao, et al. that found EMDR therapy significantly reduced scores on both the clinician administered post-traumatic stress disorder scale (CAPS) and the structured interview for psychosis risk syndrome (SIPS). The research team found EMDR therapy to be safe and effective in this at risk population. This is the first paper to show a trauma focused intervention can safely reduce the risk of developing psychosis.
