A case of a woman in her thirties with a recurring depression, transgenerational issues, Emotional inhibition, Unrelenting standards, Detached protector, Demanding and Punitive parent (collectively introduced as the Undermining mode) is presented. The patient has had individual and group therapy in the past which has helped her to become depression free when she was discharged. After some time she comes back in need of some more therapy as she does not feel free to live her life as her little child mode would like to live. Some booster sessions with chair techniques are helpful but not enough. As a shared decision it is decided to do an experiment with EMDR in which she is trained by the therapist. She keeps track of how she implements it and both therapist and patient try to refine the process. In this case presentation, in which the patient is actively involved, the patient and I present the intervention based on observation and collected data, share our findings and ideas. We also discuss the process of collaboration to this point of the presentation and how it can be helpful to strengthen the Healthy adult and possible pitfalls.
