Parts Work + EMDR Toolkit: A Dynamic, Consent-Based, Neurodivergent-Affirming Clinical System

All-in-one clinician guide + companion toolkit: neurodivergent-affirming, dissociation-aware, creativity-centered clinician education with print-ready, client-ready tools.

A three-part clinical toolkit designed for EMDR clinicians who want neurodivergent-affirming, choice-filled structure—without losing depth, creativity, or rigor.

What It Is

This download includes three files:
  • Clinician Guide (PDF): the clinical “why + how,” language, pacing tips, and implementation support
  • Companion Worksheet Booklet (PDF): client-facing worksheets that pair with the guide (printable + digital-friendly)
  • Visual Library: a complete set of print-ready and screen-share-ready clinical visuals designed for real session moments when you need support fast. ND-affirming options for sensory support, structure, alternative scaling, and client-created regulation menus.

The Inspiration

You know that moment when a tool is technically evidence-informed but somehow still feels like trying to do therapy while sitting in a ridged, uncomfortable wooden chair?

This toolkit is the opposite of that.
 
It’s built to support EMDR, parts work, and expressive arts approaches in a way that’s:
 
  • structured but not rigid
  • creative but not chaotic
  • grounded without being bland
  • and affirming without being performative
     

Who It’s For

This toolkit is a great fit if you’re a clinician who:
  • Works with neurodivergent clients (ADHD, autistic, AuDHD, sensory-sensitive, gifted, chronically masked, etc.)
  • Uses EMDR and wants supports for pacing, consent, collaboration, and flexible processing
  • Integrates parts work and wants client language that’s accessible, non-pathologizing, and shame-reducing
  • Loves expressive arts interventions but wants them simple, ethical, and clinically intentional
  • Wants tools that reduce cognitive load for both you and your clients
     

What You’ll Help Clients Do


Inside the guide + booklet, you’ll support clients in:
  • Building grounded presence and nervous system steadiness (without forcing “calm”)
  • Finding regulation strategies that actually work for their brain and body
  • Mapping internal experience (parts, needs, signals, protective strategies) with less shame
  • Using creative prompts for meaning-making, resourcing, containment, and self-connection
  • Practicing choice-based pacing so EMDR work stays tolerable, collaborative, and effective

What Makes This ND-Affirming (Not Just ND-Adjacent)


This toolkit is designed with:
  • Permission to opt out, modify, and go at the speed of trust
  • Low-demand, flexible structure (no “one right way” energy)
  • Sensory-aware options and neutral language (no moralizing or “fixing” tone)
  • Built-in reminders that protective strategies have reasons
  • A stance of curiosity + consent as the clinical baseline


What’s Included (At a Glance)


Clinician Guide
  • Orientation + framework for integrating EMDR, parts work, and expressive arts
  • Therapist language and scripts you can actually use
  • Practical notes for pacing, consent, and collaboration
  • Guidance for adapting tools for different neurotypes and preferences

Companion Worksheet Booklet
  • Printable client worksheets paired to the toolkit tools
  • Prompts designed for clarity, accessibility, and choice
  • A mix of reflective, mapping, and creative pages
  • Use in-session, between-session, or as structured resourcing homework
     

How to Use It

  • Bring a worksheet into session when you need a gentle structure
  • Use tools as prep/resourcing, throughout processing, or for aftercare
  • Print pages or use digitally (tablet-friendly in most PDF apps)
  • Mix and match—this is a buffet, not a bootcamp

Most EMDR tools focus only on client work.

This toolkit supports you AND your client — because your regulation, clarity, and creativity directly influence the safety of the room.


 

When you use this toolkit, you’ll feel:

  • Less overwhelmed when protectors interrupt EMDR

  • More confident blending parts work + EMDR

  • Clearer about pacing and readiness

  • Supported during complex trauma or dissociation work

  • Creatively nourished instead of creatively depleted

  • Able to work visually when words are too much — for either of you

  • Grounded in a gentle, expressive, ND-affirming approach

     

This toolkit brings clarity to complex sessions, reduces cognitive load, and gives you reliable, creative structure — even on days when your brain feels tired.

 

Therapist-care is client-care.


Your nervous system deserves support too.
