Phase 1 — safety and stabilisation
- Window of Tolerance — the psychoeducation sheet that reframes hyper- and hypo-arousal for the client.
- Safe / Calm Place — the guided imagery worksheet used in EMDR preparation and beyond.
- Container Exercise — for material that surfaces between sessions and can't be metabolised now.
- Grounding menu (5-4-3-2-1, orienting, temperature) — the client's crisis-toolkit page.
- Dissociation Grounding — specific reorientation script for switching, freeze or shutdown.
Phase 2 — processing
- EMDR Target Sequence Plan — the treatment-planning worksheet.
- EMDR Phase 3 Assessment — the in-session assessment sheet (image, NC, PC, VoC, emotion, SUDS, body).
- Float-Back — bridge from present-day trigger to earliest matching memory.
- Flashback Protocol — the client-facing rescue sheet for intrusive re-experiencing.
- IFS Parts Map + Unblending — for the trauma protectors the client cannot access their Self behind.

Frequently asked questions
What trauma worksheets are safe to use in phase 1?+
Anything focused on stabilisation, psychoeducation or resourcing: Window of Tolerance, Safe/Calm Place, Container, grounding menus. Avoid worksheets that ask the client to describe the trauma narrative in detail (target sequence, float-back) until stabilisation is solid.
Can I use these trauma worksheets without EMDR or IFS training?+
Yes for the stabilisation and integration sheets — those are pan-modality. The phase-2 processing sheets (target sequence, float-back, unblending) are protocol-specific and should only be used inside the modality you're trained in.
How do I know a client is stable enough to move to phase 2?+
Standard criteria: the client can name their window of tolerance, has two grounding skills they use successfully, has a functioning safe/calm place, and can end a session regulated. If any of those four is missing, stay in phase 1.
