Handouts

Here are my top 2025 reminders for therapists in private practice!

When using EMDR with children, incorporating visual SUDS (Subjective Units of Distress Scale) tools can be especially helpful in supporting them to identify and communicate their level of distress. Feel free to print and laminate these two versions of the SUDS scale for repeated use during sessions. Use whichever version best meets the child’s developmental level and needs.

This EMDR handouts offers a visual way to assess for the Validity of Cognition with children. Feel free to print and laminate these two versions of the VOC scale for repeated use during sessions. Use whichever version best meets the child’s developmental level and needs.

As a school counselor, I was not always aware of the differences between my role and that of a play therapist. I even went so far as to begin creating treatment plans for my school counseling students! While I did not need to be this thorough and helped with goal setting, I realized the importance of know the differences between these roles. This was helpful not only for myself, but for parents as well.
