Consent, Pacing & Visual Tools for EMDR and Parts Work
Ethical pacing in EMDR and parts work requires a careful balance of clinical intuition and structured support. When activation rises or protective responses emerge, having a clear framework helps you respond with confidence. This visual kit provides a compact, in-session reference for navigating these shifts, ensuring that consent and safety remain at the center of the therapeutic process.
Designed for licensed therapists, these tools offer immediate support for monitoring the window of tolerance and managing protector permission. The kit includes resources to help you and your clients decide when to pause, slow down, or continue safely, reducing the pressure to push through clinical uncertainty. By integrating therapist regulation check-ins, the kit also acknowledges the importance of your own nervous system state during complex trauma work.
Core Clinical Tools
This toolkit provides essential visuals for ethical decision-making in every phase of treatment. It includes the Dose Activation Meter with a customizable stop plan, a Safety and Consent flowchart, and a Window of Tolerance reference.

These resources are available in both full-color for telehealth and printer-friendly versions for in-person sessions.
