Who Is This EMDR Quiz For?
What Can This EMDR Quiz Tell Me?
EMDR is a form of trauma therapy used to help people process distressing or traumatic memories. This quiz is designed to help you reflect on whether you may be ready for EMDR sessions and whether speaking to an EMDR therapist could be a useful next step.
The questions look at your current coping, the support available to you and how safe you feel when difficult thoughts or feelings come up.
People sometimes search for an EMDR test or online EMDR test, but this quiz is not a diagnosis or formal mental health assessment. A qualified therapist can assess whether EMDR is appropriate for you.
What Happens After the Quiz?
Your results are a starting point rather than a final answer. You can use them to learn more about EMDR therapy, discuss EMDR with your current therapist or contact Plum Psychology about EMDR Intensives.
