What is a mind map?
• is a diagram used to represent words, ideas,
tasks, or other items linked to a central key
word or idea.
• are tools which help you think and learn
• is a strategy for bringing order and structure to
thinking through mentally mapping words
or/and concepts

Benefits of Mind Mapping & EMDR
• Simplifies complex case files and targets
• Large files onto 1 or 2 sheets
• Procedure/structure for
– developing treatment plan
– keeping track of new targets
– re-arranging treatment plan
• Review of 8 phases, 3 pronged protocol, and AIP model
• Provides insight into past memory networks, adaptive
information arising, themes, progress, etc.
Benefits of Mind Mapping & EMDR
• Quick review of client file for

re-evaluation
returning client
reviewing treatment plan
report writing
• Clarifies stuck points in the process:
– missing parts of the standard protocol, for example:
• didn’t floatback;
• missed future template
• incomplete targets, e.g. SUDs not 0; no PC installation

Benefits of Mind Mapping & EMDR
• Clarifies stuck points in the process:
– Dissociation; Ego States
• See over time the inconsistency of SUDs e.g. 0 then 8 then 0 then 9 then…
– Easy review of what is or is not changing
• For example: client is no longer eating fast food, but still over eating…
still change in behavior
• Identifies areas in which to seek consultation
Benefits of Mind Mapping & EMDR
• Sharing maps with clients
– builds rapport (footnote 1)
– helps them understand the EMDR process
– encouraging to see what has been accomplished
• Own self care
– where you need consultation;
– reminds therapist of progress; i.e. targets are clearing which is
especially helpful with complex cases; addictions; etc.
– Points out patterns e.g. similar stuck points with several clients
• Helps grasp protocols e.g. DeTUR protocol
Footnote 1: With DID & complex trauma some clients find looking at an extensive mind
map of their history and targets overwhelming

Map memory networks
Map adaptive networks
As you map you can see connections, themes,…
Keep track of adaptive responses in processing
e.g. anger or PC’s arising, etc.
• Map relevant past experiences that create and
perpetuate maladaptive patterns of response /
“unmetabolized components of memory”

1. Resource State
I now have clients recall a time when they experienced feelings of being
resourceful, powerful and in-control and direct them to those to notice the
powerful feelings, and then use eye movements (EM) to strengthen these
powerful feelings. This appears to empower clients and allows the process
to move faster.
The trick here is to have them freeze the experience and only focus on the
positive element before doing eye movements.
a. Positive Tx Goal
(1) Client's attention is directed towards a positive, attractive,
achievable, compelling goal of coping and functioning
The positive treatment goal should be attractive and achievable, one
that has a magnetic pull that they can easily maintain their focus on. I
use their definition of how they would look coping and functioning
successfully in a positive manner.
(1) Pos. Goal State
Phys. Anchor - The next step is to have them associate with their goal.
Give them the experience of how it would feel to successfully achieve
their goal, and then using associative representation, anchor the
experience into their physiology.
Anchoring or Conditioned Response: is a process of being able to
replicate the physiological experience associated with an emotion or state
by linking it to a physical representation (slight finger pressure). I exert
slight pressure on a knuckle as the representation (after obtaining
