About the Digital Download
This handout is designed for EMDR therapists working with clients who have “storytelling” or big narrative parts that can slow processing. Using an attachment-informed framework, it provides practical micro-skills and strategies to keep EMDR moving without relying on cognitive interweaves or stigmatizing language. It emphasizes relational and attachment-focused interventions, helping therapists support stuck or overactive parts in a compassionate, clinically effective way.
About the Creator
Sara Forcella is a Certified EMDR Therapist and EMDRIA-Approved EMDR Consultant in Training. In her work with adult children of EIPs and narcissistic parents, she found that standard EMDR training often isn’t enough to fully address attachment trauma. Many client blocks—especially around relational ruptures and attachment dynamics—require additional strategies. She integrates Somatic and Attachment-Focused EMDR (S.A.F.E.) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to provide a parts-based, attachment-informed approach.
