Creating a Calm Place | EMDR Calm Place Worksheet & Resourcing Exercise

Creating a Calm Place

Creating a Calm Place is a therapist-designed EMDR resourcing worksheet that guides clients through developing a personalized internal resource associated with calm, comfort, or steadiness.

This guided EMDR Calm Place exercise invites users to imagine a real or imagined place, explore sensory details, notice related body sensations, and identify a cue word or phrase connected with the experience. A gentle reflection section provides space to notice what helped the resource feel more accessible.

Designed to support EMDR preparation and resourcing, this worksheet can be used by therapists with clients or as a reflective resource alongside therapy. It offers a structured way to explore grounding, present-moment awareness, and a personalized sense of calm or steadiness.
