Demystifying the Interweave

Demystifying the Interweave

Interweaves are often presented as one of the more mysterious aspects of EMDR therapy. In this practical guide, Dr. Andrew J. Dobo offers a different perspective, showing that effective interweaves are often simple, predictable, and grounded in the client’s present reality.

Through clear clinical examples, this resource explores why clients become “stuck” during processing, how to recognize when an interweave is needed, and why the most effective interventions are often the least complicated. Rather than memorizing techniques, therapists are encouraged to develop a deeper understanding of the Adaptive Information Processing model and the role of careful observation throughout the EMDR session.

Whether you are newly trained or refining your clinical skills, this guide offers a practical way to think about one of EMDR’s most frequently misunderstood interventions.
