The Creative Scaling Toolkit (Color + Printer Friendly Versions)
When SUD scores do not work, track activation differently.
Not every client processes through numbers. Some shut down when asked to provide a rating, while others feel shame about selecting a perceived wrong number. This toolkit provides expressive, sensory, and metaphor-based alternatives to traditional SUD and VOC tracking without abandoning the core EMDR structure.
These resources are designed for neurodivergent, dissociative, sensory-sensitive, and shame-prone clients. By offering varied ways to measure distress and belief, you can maintain clinical focus while respecting your client's unique processing style.
This digital bundle is provided as a ZIP file containing multiple clinical resources in PDF format.
