Attachment-Focused Resources

Parnell's four resources

TherapistAssist logo

Attachment-focused EMDR (Parnell) resource protocol — four resources installed BEFORE trauma processing: nurturing, protective, wise, and healing figures.

Nurturing figure (real / imagined / spiritual)
Protective figure
Wise figure
Healing figure / place
Bilateral stimulation used — set count and speed

Install before process

For clients with attachment trauma, resource installation is not a warm-up — it's the foundation. Never skip.
