Clear Or Still Activated
The result is a target-linked status with residual sensations when present. Ambiguous sensations should be recorded as unclear rather than forced into clear status.
Body Scan
Body Scan is a live-session EMDR resolution-check tool for EMDR practitioners. It helps record whether residual somatic activation remains for a specific trauma target and captures any residual sensations clearly enough to guide further practitioner review.

Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
Relationship To Somatic Baseline
When prior body location or sensation exists, the review may show descriptive comparison, but no medical or clinical interpretation is generated.
Does Body Scan decide that treatment is complete?
No. It records clear or still-activated body response; the practitioner decides what the result means clinically.
Can multiple residual sensations be recorded?
Yes. Multiple residual sensations should be allowed when reported.
Is a body map required?
No. Exact body-map use is unresolved; status and residual sensation capture are the required mechanics.
