In this episode, I’m answering a question I’ve heard a lot lately: “How can I support someone after they’ve had an EMDR session?” And honestly, I love this question — because it comes from such a caring place.

We don’t often talk about what happens after EMDR. People go into sessions, things get stirred up, and then… what? If you’re the partner, the parent, the friend, or even just the person making the cup of tea afterward — you might be wondering how to help without doing too much, or getting it wrong.

So, I’m walking you through what that support can look like. From giving space to being present, from what not to say, to how to simply sit beside someone with kindness. EMDR can be intense, and the healing doesn’t stop when the session ends.

This episode is for anyone who's ever thought:
"I want to help. I just don’t know how."
You're not alone — and you're doing better than you think.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

Healing doesn’t end when the EMDR session does — support afterward really matters.

You don’t need to fix anything; just being present is often the most powerful support.

It’s okay to not have the perfect words — calm, quiet presence goes a long way.

Respect the person’s pace — some people want to talk, others need space.

Supporting someone through trauma healing is brave, gentle work in itself.
