This is an important reminder that confidentiality of a client’s personal identifiable information needs to remain private during consultation. It is important for you as the Consultee to make a conscious effort to maintain a client’s privacy when discussing a client’s case and in recordings.

The intended purpose of consultation is for the consultant to provide guidance and feedback to the consultee regarding their use of (standard EMDR therapy) or Trauma-Informed Therapy with clients. Consultation is not supervision. The consultee maintains full responsibility and autonomy for the decisions involving their clients’ treatment. The consultant provides feedback on the consultee’s implementation of (standard EMDR therapy) or Trauma-Informed therapy and is not directive with client treatment.

The clinical decisions made for treatment, remains your own.
