Holly Forman-Patel

Welcome to EMDR with Holly, a channel for therapists who want clear, practical, research-informed EMDR therapy education. I’m Holly Forman-Patel, LMFT, LPCC, EMDR Certified Therapist, EMDRIA Approved Consultant, and Basic Trainer.

This channel covers EMDR therapy basics, the standard protocol, case conceptualization using the AIP model, advanced EMDR techniques like flashforward and future templates, cognitive interweaves, working with CPTSD, trauma, anxiety, phobias, and nonverbal or implicit memories. You’ll also learn how to manage stuck processing, resolve blocking beliefs, avoid therapist drift, and integrate EMDR with ego state therapy, hypnosis, and Deep Brain Reorienting.

My goal is to help EMDR therapists build confidence, deepen skills, and strengthen clinical reasoning.
