Free EMDR Workshop: Understanding the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) Model

The Foundation of EMDR Therapy: Understanding the Adaptive Information Processing Model

If you've struggled to really understand how EMDR therapy works, or struggled to explain the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) Model to clients, this free workshop is for you.

The AIP Model is the theoretical foundation of EMDR therapy. Understanding it deeply can transform how you conceptualize symptoms, identify treatment targets, navigate blocked processing, and help clients make sense of their healing journey.

In This Workshop, You'll Learn:

  • What the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) Model is and why it matters

  • How maladaptively stored memories contribute to current symptoms

  • The connection between trauma, triggers, negative beliefs, emotions, and nervous system responses

  • How the AIP Model informs treatment planning and target sequencing

  • Ways to explain the AIP Model to clients in language they can understand

  • Clinical examples demonstrating AIP in action

Why Attend?

Many therapists learn the protocols of EMDR but struggle to fully integrate the theory behind the work. A stronger understanding of the AIP Model can improve treatment planning, increase confidence during processing sessions, and help therapists navigate complex cases more effectively.

Whether you're newly trained or looking to deepen your understanding, this workshop will help you connect the dots between EMDR theory and clinical practice.
