Start helping clients feel better, right from intake.
This 1.5-hour workshop introduces Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) theory in a way that’s practical, engaging, and immediately usable. You’ll learn how to bring greater clinical clarity to early sessions and how the orienting response can naturally support therapeutic momentum when you’re intentionally building adaptive neuropathways and beginning the updating and consolidation of memory networks.
If you want intake to become a turning point (not just a formality), this is for you.
→ Join us and bring more clarity, connection, and direction to session one.

* Improved clinical attunement and rapport by asking questions that help clients feel seen, organized, and supported.

Describe the core principles of Adaptive
Information Processing (AIP) theory and
their relevance to case conceptualization.
Identify how affect management and
self-belief systems can be assessed and
integrated within the AIP framework.
Identify how cultural differences,
marginalized identities, and systemic
oppression can disrupt adaptive information
processing system
Many clinicians benefit from a clear way to organize how the past is present to structure treatment. The AIP Advantage helps to do just that. The AIP Intake is a way to illicit the natural orienting response from the very first session. It lends to the flow of EMDR Treatment through each of the 3 stages and all 8 phases, building your confidence you will sharpen your clinical decision-making, while earning 1.5 CE credits—digestible information you can apply immediately, and begin your EMDR Service right from the start.
