EMDR Free Training
The EMDR Approach to Trauma: A Free Intro to Adaptive Processing
Live: Wednesday July 23rd from 12 pm - 1 pm MTN Denver
A 1-hour training to rethink trauma through EMDR’s core framework—even if you’re not EMDR-trained (yet).
Curious how EMDR therapists conceptualize trauma? In this free, live 1-hour training, you'll learn the foundational model behind EMDR therapy—the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model—and how it transforms the way we understand and treat trauma. Whether you’re EMDR-trained or just EMDR-curious, you’ll walk away with a fresh clinical lens you can start applying right away.
This course will be recorded on July 23, 2025.
FACT: EMDR is a full therapy model based on the neurobiology of memory. It uses evidence-based techniques to rewire how trauma is stored in the brain, promoting healing through neuroplasticity.
What You’ll Learn in This Free Training
The Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) Model
Learn the foundational model behind EMDR therapy— how it explains the way trauma is stored and how to align with neurobiology to support integration. You’ll discover how AIP can transform your clinical lens, even if you never pick up bilateral stimulation.
Memory Networks: Adaptive vs. Maladaptive
Explore how the brain organizes experience through memory networks, and what happens when trauma creates disconnection, looping, or shutdown. You’ll learn how these networks shape client symptoms, reactions, and triggers.
How Unhealed Memories Drive Present-Day Symptoms
Understand how trauma shows up in the now. We’ll look at real-life examples of how unresolved past experiences hijack the present—so you can start tracing symptoms back to their roots.
The Floatback Technique
Get an introduction to this EMDR-based strategy that helps uncover the earlier experiences behind current distress. You’ll walk away with a simple, neuro-informed method to use in conceptualization or session work.
How to Use AIP in Your Practice—With Any Client
You don’t have to be EMDR-trained to start applying AIP principles. We’ll show you how to use this framework to map client cases more clearly, avoid therapeutic misfires, and plan interventions that align with the brain’s natural drive to heal.
