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

How to Use It

-

-
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.
