I especially appreciated her focus on case conceptualization, target selection, and navigating blocks that can arise during processing. Carol used real clinical examples to make complex concepts easy to understand while emphasizing appropriate pacing and attunement to the client. I left the training feeling more confident and prepared to use EMDR effectively with my clients. "
