Who This Training Is For

For EMDR-Trained Clinicians Returning to the Model

This program is intended for doctorate-level and master-level psychologists, LMFTs, LMHCs, LPCs, LISWs, LMSWs and other master-level mental health practitioners who have successfully completed an EMDR Basic Training.

This course builds on the standard protocol learned in EMDR Basic Training and returns to it with intention: the AIP model, all eight phases and three stages, and the EMDR Processing Continuum. If you have not yet completed Basic Training, start with EMDR Basic Training.

Course Overview

Fidelity to the Model, Grounded in the AIP Model

The Art & Heart of EMDR: Back to the Basics Reboot, Fidelity to the Model, strengthens clinicians' confidence and fidelity in EMDR practice while returning to the foundation of the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model. Kenya Rocha brings her clinical, consultation and teaching experience to guide a deeper integration of theory, research and practical skills.

The course begins with the central principles of the AIP model, which positions memory processing and adaptive integration as the mechanisms underlying EMDR's effectiveness. Building on that framework, it emphasizes fidelity to the eight phases and three stages of EMDR, with a focus on protocol adherence, fidelity monitoring and structured application as supported in recent feasibility and randomized controlled trial studies.

A core component explores the EMDR Processing Continuum, differentiating EMD, EMDr and EMDR, and how to apply each across clinical presentations, including acute trauma, restricted processing and full trauma resolution. You will also refine strategies for stabilizing clients through affect regulation and resourcing, drawing on evidence on resourcing, tolerance building and the regulation of shame, guilt and disgust in trauma recovery.

The course highlights the importance of belief system congruence in effective processing, drawing on emerging evidence that changes in negative cognitions and maladaptive self-beliefs often mediate PTSD symptom reduction. It also examines cultural and developmental considerations in EMDR application, from culturally responsive adaptations in diverse contexts to tailored interventions with adolescents and children.

Overall, this course equips clinicians with the clarity, confidence and evidence-based strategies needed to honor EMDR's fidelity while meeting the complex needs of diverse clients.
