BLS Targets allow you to track and manage your clients target issues, memories, or installation for EMDR. You can add as many targets as you want for each client and easily track your clients progress with SUDs or VOC.
To create a new target for your BLS/EMDR therapy for a client, click the BLS Target "Create New" (or "Select" if you already have targets) button in the EMDR toolbar. A popup will be displayed where you can enter a new BLS target.
Enter in a name for your BLS target and select the current SUDs and VOC.
SUDs is short for Subjective Units of Distress. There are 10 pre-defined levels that you can select from that range from no distress to the highest distress.
VOC is short for Validity of Cognition. There are 7 levels of VOC that you can choose from ranging from totally false to totally true.
You can also provide additional BLS target details if you want. These details can include:
The target timeline (Past, Present, Future)
The image or picture the target raises
The clients negative cognition
The clients positive cognition
The emotions/feelings
Any body sensations
You can now track multiple BLS targets for each of your clients. Select your current BLS target in the EMDR toolbar by clicking on the "BLS Target" button and choosing which BLS target you are currently working on.
You can use the BLS Target to track your clients individual issues or incidents. When applying BLS you can easily choose a BLS Target and also set the SUDs (Subjective Units of Distress) and/or VOC (Validity of Cognition).
You can now track the clients SUDs and VOC by selecting that in the EMDR toolbar and choosing your the level.
You can have as many BLS targets as you link for each client.
