Relationship To VOC
This tool identifies the PC. Credibility measurement belongs to VOC when that separate measure is used.
Positive Cognition Identification
Positive Cognition Identification is a specific EMDR assessment component for EMDR practitioners. It helps record the desired adaptive self-referential belief associated with a trauma target so the belief can be used in later target work and credibility evaluation.

Working Wording
Multiple candidate PCs can remain candidates until the practitioner marks one as the working PC for the target.
Does this tool score how true the PC feels?
No. VOC scoring is separate unless another tool captures it.
Can the PC be recorded before the NC?
Yes. PC without NC is allowed, but the absence of NC should remain visible if contrast is expected in the workflow.
Does the tool generate adaptive beliefs?
No. It records wording supplied through practitioner and client collaboration.
