Complete Versus Incomplete
Complete target status should not require unresolved-material fields. Incomplete status should keep stabilization direction and continuation notes easy to find.
Closure / Incomplete Target Plan
Closure / Incomplete Target Plan is a practitioner-only EMDR end-of-session tool for EMDR practitioners. It helps document whether the current target is complete or incomplete and records practitioner-provided stabilization and continuity direction between sessions.

Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
Continuity
Historical closure records should remain visible if status changes after later review, so the session-end sequence is preserved.
Limits
The tool records practitioner-provided stabilization direction but does not generate safety steps, risk determinations, or treatment recommendations.
Does the tool create stabilization steps?
No. Stabilization content is practitioner-provided and the tool does not generate clinical steps.
Is this client-facing?
No. This configuration is practitioner-only, although closure may be discussed with the client during session.
What if the target is incomplete?
Incomplete status should preserve stabilization direction and next-session or between-session direction for unresolved material.
