Course Overview

The EMDR Refresher Course is a multi-module online course for EMDR trained clinicians, who have previously completed an EMDRIA-Approved Training but have not applied that learning for a period of time.

In this course, you will review the 8 phases on EMDR therapy, along with the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) Model. Clinicians will build their competency and confidence in case conceptualization, treatment planning and target sequencing from an AIP model perspective. This course teaches clinicians screening methods and readiness processes with clients to ensure full preparation and resourcing is taking place prior to starting EMDR reprocessing.

After this course, clinicians will be able to identify strategies to use with dissociative clients, various different cultural practices and awareness, along with working with clients with complex PTSD. This course takes an attachment-friendly and relational approach infused into the entire course. Lastly, clinicians will enhance their ability to conduct EMDR therapy with children and adolescence, complex PTSD, blocked processing and dissociation.

The training includes both didactic learning and demonstration through recorded webinars, as well as an option for live consultation and supervised online practicum.
