Documenting EMDR the way Shapiro structured it.
Shapiro's 8-phase structure, SUD and VOC tracking, and a built-in bilateral stimulation tool. Without paying for three subscriptions.
Most EHRs were built around insurance billing, not trauma work. EMDR therapists end up stitching together their own stack.
- SUDS sheet on paper
- BLS in a separate tab
- Target list in a notebook
- An AI scribe that wants to record the session
If your "EHR stack" is four tools, this page is for you.
EMDR documentation lives or dies on consistency: every target needs its negative and positive cognitions, baseline and closing SUD and VOC, and a record of the bilateral sets across the eight phases. CoralEHR keeps that structure in one place — a free bilateral stimulation tool, target-sequence planning, and SUD/VOC tracking that flow into the chart — and drafts the note from what you type, with no session recording. The tools work on their own; in the EHR they connect to the client record so the phase-by-phase data is never scattered across paper and spreadsheets.
