Open toolUnderstanding EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured, eight-phase approach to processing distressing memories. Across history-taking, preparation, assessment, desensitization, installation, body scan, closure, and reevaluation, the clinician guides bilateral stimulation while tracking the client’s Subjective Units of Distress (SUD) and Validity of Cognition (VOC) on each target.
The documentation burden is real: every target needs its negative and positive cognitions, baseline and closing SUD/VOC, and a record of the bilateral sets. Done in a generic note field, that is slow and inconsistent — which is exactly where structured tools help.
CoralEHR brings the EMDR workflow into one place. Use the free bilateral stimulation tool in session, plan a target sequence, run safe-place and container exercises for stabilization, and log SUD/VOC over time — then draft the note from what you typed, with no session recording. The tools are free to use on their own; in the chart, they flow straight into the client’s record.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the 8 phases of EMDR? +
History-taking, preparation, assessment, desensitization, installation, body scan, closure, and reevaluation. SUD and VOC ratings are tracked on each target through desensitization and installation.
How do you document an EMDR session? +
Record each target’s negative and positive cognitions, the baseline and closing SUD (0–10) and VOC (1–7), the bilateral stimulation used, and the client’s response. Structured tracking keeps this consistent across sessions.
Are there free EMDR tools for telehealth? +
Yes. CoralEHR offers a free browser-based bilateral stimulation tool, a target-sequence planner, safe-place and container exercises, and a SUD/VOC tracker — usable on their own and connected to the chart inside the EHR.
