Structuring Your EMDR Documentation

A strong EMDR progress note must document the specific phase of the 8-phase protocol being utilized. Essential elements include the identified target memory, the baseline Subjective Units of Disturbance (SUD) scale, the Validity of Cognition (VOC) scale, and the specific bilateral stimulation used. Documentation should clearly reflect the patient's movement through the reprocessing phase, noting any blocks, shifts in affect, or the emergence of a positive cognition.

Using Aduvera eliminates the need to recall these specific metrics from memory hours after a session. The AI scribe captures the actual dialogue of the encounter, allowing you to review the exact moment a SUD score changed or a specific target was identified. This creates a high-fidelity draft that maintains the integrity of the EMDR process while reducing the time spent on manual documentation.
