This self-paced homestudy webinar provides a visual explanation of the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, which is the theoretical foundation of EMDR therapy. Graphics depicting adaptive and maladaptive memory networks are used to illustrate key implications for treating complex developmental trauma with EMDR therapy.
Strategic methods for history gathering and preparation are delineated as means of assessing a client’s readiness for trauma memory reprocessing, guarding against risks associated with EMDR therapy, and incorporating essential attention to a client’s identity, race, and culture. Worksheets are provided for decoding the connections between a client’s symptoms, triggers, and trauma memory networks, as well as for creating comprehensive, symptom-focused, and crisis/intrusion-focused target sequence plans based on these connections.
Concepts throughout the training are explained via lecture accompanied by detailed slides, which include extensive use of graphics to clarify key points. Integration of interventions into clinical practice is supported by worksheets, checklists, rubrics, suggested practicum exercises, and video demonstrations. The course is focused on adult clients.
Student Testimonials
I like the visuals of the trees that you utilized to help us understand how the Memory Network works and the way it stores memories and the importance of understanding how to create a treatment plan for Complex Trauma.
I also enjoyed you sharing with us some of the raw videos where you go step by step describing what was going on in the session and why you chose certain interventions to help client move along in the desired phase of treatment.
The powerpoint slides are so valuable and the video's are golden to see the work in action.
The videos from both Day 1 & 2. It showed the therapist in action and the challenges/hiccups that come along with the process.
EMDRIA Certified Therapist & Consultant
The presenter has created a robust model for effective EMDR case conceptualization for working with complex trauma.
Synthesizing from experts within the field, this training allows for precision targeting, allowing providers to see the forest and the trees, and to confidently engage in a systematic approach to treatment planning.
This new learning will aid in my treatment planning and effectively evaluating and treating complex trauma.
Fantastic training overall. Susie does a wonderful way of organizing the information into a visual representation of trauma.
The presentation was wonderful, and wish I had been trained this way originally.
Conceptualizing the AIP and Maladaptive storage through the tree image and its representation of various aspects of identifying stored trauma is so beneficial. The visual facilitates a greater understanding of key concepts that otherwise can be difficult to explain.
Susie Morgan is an amazing trainer with a profound EMDR acumen. Thank you.

This homestudy webinar provides a visual explanation of the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model of EMDR therapy. Graphics depicting adaptive and maladaptive memory networks are used to illustrate key implications for treating complex developmental trauma with EMDR therapy, including application to the spectrum of dissociative symptoms and disorders.
The connection between symptoms, triggers, and trauma memory networks in complex developmental trauma is conceptualized through an EMDR therapy lens, with particular focus on negative cognitions that describe how a client's symptoms manage their sense of worth, safety, power, or belonging. Methods for reprocessing maladaptive strategies for managing negative affect and unmet attachment needs are discussed, including reprocessing of associated maladaptive positive affect. Common blocking beliefs when reprocessing complex developmental trauma and interweaves to address blocked processing are presented.
Concepts throughout the training are explained via lecture accompanied by detailed slides, which include extensive use of graphics to clarify key points. Integration of interventions into clinical practice is supported by video demonstrations. The course is focused on adult clients. (Advanced Level)
Note: This course builds on foundational material in Decoding Complex Developmental Trauma using EMDR Therapy (Part 1): The Connection between Symptoms, Triggers, and Trauma Memory Networks in developing Readiness and Target Sequence Planning.
Student Testimonials
Thank you for all of this thoughtful, incredibly valuable sharing of knowledge! I feel like you addressed a missing piece for me, how to map and shift the maladaptive negative and positive strategies we see in complex developmental trauma.
I also really appreciated your in depth explanation of the tree analogy. I have been using this but this training really solidified the concept for me, especially your focus on the importance of identifying and connecting to the "white tree" and how essential it is to resource/strengthen this throughout EMDR therapy.
EMDRIA Certified Therapist
This was an incredible advanced course and I am grateful to have learned from Susie again.
I'm also thankful to have all of her updated forms and get to learn how she conceptualizes utilizing them with her clients, it was a great gift to be here today. The videos and handouts really enhanced the learning environment.
EMDRIA Certified Therapist & Approved Consultant
The worksheets are invaluable because they help with treatment planning, organization and offer a road map to utilize. I found the trigger decoding worksheet super helpful and the categorization of positive/negative beliefs.
I'd recommend the training because of the worksheets which are tremendous in helping breakdown, organize, treatment plan. I loved the tree imagery and videos because they were more accurate representations of people you see in your office and how things don't always move smoothly.
The trees provide a system of clear visual illustrations of different internal states. Forms are not something I have a history of getting excited about; I am actually delighted about the forms for Complex Developmental Trauma!
It was full of great content and well presented!
Many clinicians would benefit by this training for a broader, deeper understanding of both the dynamics and ways to address Complex Developmental Trauma. The forms and the tree visuals are well designed and very useful.

This homestudy webinar provides a visual explanation of the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, which is the theoretical foundation of EMDR therapy. Graphics depicting adaptive and maladaptive memory networks are used to illustrate key implications for treating complex developmental trauma with EMDR therapy, including application to the spectrum of dissociative symptoms and disorders. The connection between symptoms, triggers, and trauma memory networks in complex developmental trauma is conceptualized through an EMDR therapy lens, with particular focus on negative cognitions that describe how the client’s symptoms manage their sense of worth, safety, power, or belonging. Methods for reprocessing maladaptive strategies for managing negative affect and unmet attachment needs are discussed, including reprocessing of associated maladaptive positive affect. Common blocking beliefs when reprocessing complex developmental trauma and interweaves to address blocked processing are presented. Concepts throughout the training are explained via lecture accompanied by detailed slides, which include extensive use of graphics to clarify key points. Integration of interventions into clinical practice is supported by video demonstrations. (Advanced Level)
Note: This course builds on foundational material in Decoding Complex Developmental Trauma using EMDR Therapy (Part 1): The Connection between Symptoms, Triggers, and Trauma Memory Networks in developing Readiness and Target Sequence Planning.

Decoding the Model of EMDR Therapy
A Visual Conceptualization of the Connection between Symptoms, Triggers, and Trauma Memory Networks
Location: Self-Paced Webinar
Level of Programming: Introductory, EMDR Training NOT Required
Cost: $0 + $10 for 2 APA & EMDRIA CE Credits (optional)
Provided Live: Friday, 8/2/24 (Contact Susie if you would like her to provide this training live to your agency or organization.)
Providing strategic, safe, and effective EMDR therapy – to even the most complex cases – begins with being able to thoroughly grasp the AIP model and its clinical implications. Moreover, providing truly trauma-informed care begins with being able to explain these concepts with depth and clarity to our clients, so they are empowered to have an informed voice in their treatment. This course provides a visual depiction of the AIP model, EMDR Reprocessing, Readiness, and Target Sequence Planning, making a theory and method that can often feel convoluted and confusing to become accessible and clear.
Student Testimonials
Conceptualizing the AIP and Maladaptive storage through the tree image and its representation of various aspects of identifying stored trauma is so beneficial. The visual facilitates a greater understanding of key concepts that otherwise can be difficult to explain.
Susie Morgan is an amazing trainer with a profound EMDR acumen. Thank you.

The aspects of brain functioning after experiences of trauma were explained in full. The trees presentation was a forceful brain metaphor and helped make sense of what mechanisms occur, and the manner they impact thoughts and behaviors and can create problematic symptoms for those who have been unable to resolve their trauma memory networks.
The manner in which attachment issues can contribute to the traumatic matter and the manner in which overlapping memories occur is crucial for clinicians' awareness when treating clients. So much of the material is easily applicable to my current clients and I look forward to incorporating what I have learned into my trauma informed practice.

I found the way the information was framed to be incredibly useful. The simple and clear explanations provided along with visual aids were great and I have already put them to use. ...
New ways to say the same thing I've been saying, except now I'm getting, "Ohhh" instead of "wait, what?".
in San Diego, CA
I like the visuals of the trees that you utilized to help us understand how the Memory Network works and the way it stores memories and the importance of understanding how to create a treatment plan for Complex Trauma.
The trees provide a system of clear visual illustrations of different internal states. It was full of great content and well presented!

- That’s where you can mute yourself, make sure your web-cam is on, send a chat message, etc.
- Please “mute” yourself unless you are participating in a discussion. This helps us not have get background noises and allows everyone to be able to hear.
- Please keep your web-cam on during all live training sessions. That’s the equivalent of “being in the room” for an in-person training.
- If you would like to see the speaker and the PowerPoint slides at the same time, you can right click on the speaker’s face and click Pin; then you will only see the slides and the one face. You can drag the sides of the windows to re-size them if you wish.
- Please have your chat set to “all participants” when you are posting questions – unless it’s something you specifically want to be private and directed only to the instructor.
- In the case that something goes wrong, often re-loading will solve the problem, or re-booting the device. Unless the problem is a weak internet signal, in which case you might want to use your phone signal for access.
This live virtual seminar or self-paced homestudy webinar provides a visual explanation of the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, which is the theoretical foundation of EMDR therapy. Graphics depicting adaptive and maladaptive memory networks are used to illustrate the importance of strategic history gathering and preparation, as means of assessing a client’s readiness for trauma memory reprocessing; guarding against risks associated with EMDR therapy; incorporating essential attention to a client’s identity, race, and culture; and developing target sequence plans. A worksheet is introduced as methods for decoding the connections between a client’s symptoms, triggers, and trauma memory networks. Concepts throughout the training are explained via lecture accompanied by detailed slides, which include extensive use of graphics to illustrate key points. The course is focused on adult clients. (Introductory Level)
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
- Explain the difference between Adaptive and Maladaptive Memory Networks according to the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) Model, which is the theoretical foundation of EMDR therapy.
- List at least 3 components of Readiness that determine that treatment can progress from stabilization to EMDR memory reprocessing, including discussion of the client’s identity, race, and cultural history.
- Describe 1 method for tracking the connection between a client’s Symptoms and their Present Triggers, and Trauma Memory Networks and how this is relevant to developing a Target Sequence Plan.

The Readiness Course for EMDR Clinicians
A Model & Practicum for How to Begin with Non-Dissociative Complex Trauma Cases
Location: Self-Paced Webinar
Level of Programming: Advanced, Complete EMDRIA-Approved EMDR Basic Training Required
Cost: $87 + $20 for 6.5 EMDRIA credits (optional)
Course author, Susie Morgan, LMFT strongly recommends that consultees enroll in The Readiness Course for EMDR Clinicians in conjunction to consultation. She has found that it can significantly accelerate professional growth during the consultation process. She has also received feedback confirming its benefit from EMDR therapists with a wide range of experience levels – ranging from the newly trained to Consultant level.
The course was purposely designed to address the areas Susie - in over a dozen years as an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant - consistently found her consultees to be struggling in providing safe and effective EMDR therapy. So few clients present with simple, single-incident PTSD, thus making it essential to understand the modifications necessary in working with clients who have histories of complex, developmental trauma.
The course is intended for EMDR therapists to be able to use as a model or practicum for learning a strategically-sequenced series of preparation and history-gathering steps to help insure a client with non-dissociative Complex PTSD is ready to respond well when beginning trauma memory reprocessing.
Student Testimonials
Susie Morgan presents with such a beautiful balance of strong, gentle, knowledgable, and nurturing qualities. She has pulled together the best of the best (and then some) and presented it in such a cohesive and meaningful way.
I absolutely love the Course and am confident it will make me a better and more thoughtful therapist. The Course is a must for any therapist wanting to use EMDR in their practice. The videos are priceless!
I wish I could have taken this course in conjunction with basic training or during basic training consultation. Susie covers the readiness/resourcing component of EMDR - particularly how to protect against possible harm to a client with Complex PTSD - in a way basic training did not.
This Course would be beneficial for therapists at any level even those who do not use EMDR. This data so rich, there is something for all therapists.
Susie’s warm demeanor and approachable manner is coupled with clear, concise, in-depth instructions and explanations throughout. Drawing on the work of key figures in the field of EMDR Therapy such as Jim Knipe, Dolores Mosquera, April Steele, Laurel Parnell, and Kathy Martin, in addition to her years of experience, Susie guides the participant in important work such as developing resources; working with defenses; identifying important negative and positive memories and the images, cognitions, emotions, and physical sensations associated with them; and using slow bilateral stimulation. Susie has made sure that the course is as universally applicable as possible, while providing safety precautions when appropriate, and emphasizing self-evaluation and self-care.
EMDRIA Certified Therapist
This course is indispensable for EMDR therapists at all stages of training.
For those new to EMDR therapy, it provides them with an understanding of some of its building blocks.
For those who have completed the basic EMDR therapy training, it gives them a framework via which to work with clients with complex trauma, who are the majority of clients seeking treatment.
For seasoned EMDR clinicians, it allows them to “fill in the gaps,” guiding them through a more fluid, organic approach to preparing clients for trauma processing.
EMDRIA Certified Therapist
I wish this course had been available when I was going through my basic EMDR training, as it builds awareness and provides information about working with complex trauma that I really needed to know.
I’ve incorporated so many of Susie’s approaches and turns of phrase from this training (just this morning I used her words to explain to a client that dissociation means that “the brain has done something sophisticated with trauma”). I am very excited to have this resource!
EMDRIA Certified Therapist
She has also added some of her own techniques that add depth to the more traditional “resourcing” and target identification I was taught. So, without reservation I highly recommend this course.
I have not gone to all the conferences or taken part in all the advanced supervision that Ms. Morgan had attended. But I get the benefit as she has distilled many of the main points of years of conferences and then has spoon fed the “pearls of wisdom” that we usually come away with.

I loved how friendly and warm the presentation was with good, simple explanations for difficult concepts.
The illustrations, both verbal and literal, really helped make the concepts clear to me and I think it would be for beginning EMDR therapists, as well.
I find it so helpful myself to read through this and find new and inventive ways to explain some of these ideas to my own clients.
EMDRIA Certified Therapist
Having completed the course, I have nothing but good things to say. As a therapist still working towards certification in EMDR it is incredibly helpful to see a seasoned clinician explaining this complex work in straight forward, easy to understand language.
Overall this course has helped to solidify my knowledge and helped clarify how to visualize how the brain manages trauma. This would be a good introduction to other therapists thinking of training in EMDR or working towards certification. Excellent work!
As an EMDR Certified Therapist, I am very grateful for Susie Morgan's Course. As a therapist in private practice, I tend to seek out consultation and collaboration, and as such, I have found this course very validating for the work that I am doing with my EMDR clients, and was helpful to spark new ideas and language during the readiness stages of EMDR therapy.
With my more challenging cases with complex trauma, I have found Susie's tools powerfully beneficial to thoughtfully and safely prepare during the history taking and readiness stages, and even further during reprocessing when clients become stuck.
Certified EMDR Therapist
I love how Susie so skillfully describes all of the various nuances of EMDR therapy while maintaining a compassionate stance; she has provided language that is easy for both clinicians and the general public unfamiliar with EMDR to follow.
This Readiness Course would be beneficial for newly trained clinicians working on becoming more proficient on their EMDR skills as well as more seasoned clinicians to refer their clients to as an adjunct resource when preparing a client for EMDR therapy.
The accompanying written notes, take home exercises and Susie's visuals in the video are so helpful for any learning style and a bonus cameo by a precious Sophie dog is easily my favorite part. :)

An examination of four intense obstacles that can block healing of Complex/Developmental Trauma – and multiple methods for profoundly down-shifting these defenses
The development of a dynamic team of support figures – and the strengthening of a visceral connection to their Nurture, Protection, and Wisdom, as powerful scaffolding to support the work of healing from Complex/Developmental Trauma
An exercise designed to identify key life experiences and their ongoing impact on beliefs about Worth, Responsibility, Safety, and Choices
The identification of the Core Negative Themes causing disruption to self-image and healthy functioning – and the strategic mapping of memory clusters to be addressed with EMDR memory reprocessing

The Readiness Course for EMDR Clinicians: A Model & Practicum for How to Begin with Non-Dissociative Complex Trauma Cases is designed for EMDR therapists to be able to use as a model and practicum for learning a strategically-sequenced series of preparation and history-gathering steps to use with non-dissociative, complex/developmental trauma clients to help advance and insure their readiness to respond well when beginning trauma memory reprocessing. The course identifies key components of readiness for safe and effective trauma memory reprocessing with this population, explains the reasons why each component is important for readiness, and provides exercises designed with the dual-purpose of assessing the clients for these components and providing methods of developing each one. (Introductory Level)
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
- Describe and depict the AIP model in a simple, easily comprehensible manner.
- Identify seven key components for readiness for trauma memory reprocessing within EMDR therapy, beyond screening for dissociation.
- List reasons why the seven components are important for readiness for safe and effective trauma memory reprocessing with non-dissociative clients who have complex/developmental trauma histories.
- Identify practical methods to assess for the seven readiness components within the context of History Taking and Preparation.
- Describe strategic sequencing of History Taking and Preparation exercises to develop the seven readiness components.
