Session Reflection Journal

Support for Resourcing & Reprocessing Phases

Use these prompts to reflect after your EMDR sessions. They can help you process your experience, notice changes, and support continued healing between sessions.

■ Resourcing Session

  • 1. What resource(s) did we use today (e.g., Safe Place, Butterfly Hug)?
  • 2. How did I feel emotionally before the session?
  • 3. How do I feel now?
  • 4. What helped me feel calm, connected, or safe?
  • 5. Any images, sensations, or memories that stood out?
  • 6. What can I do between sessions to keep practicing resourcing?

■ Reprocessing Sessions

  • 1. What memory or target did we focus on today?
  • 2. What thoughts or beliefs came up during the session?
  • 3. What emotions and body sensations did I notice?
  • 4. What’s different now about how I view the memory?
  • 5. Did any positive beliefs begin to stick?
  • 6. What do I need to support myself between now and the next session?
