EMDR Basic Refresher · Enrollment Open
Return to the foundations. Practice with confidence again.
A structured refresher for clinicians who completed EMDR Basic Training: rejoin the 20 instructional hours of a scheduled cohort and leave with the eight phases and the AIP model solid under you again.
The refresher is for you if…
- You completed EMDR Basic Training, recently or years ago, and want the eight-phase protocol and the AIP model solid under you again.
- You trained in EMDR but have not used it consistently, and want to rebuild confidence before bringing it back into your caseload.
- You want the current instruction without repeating the practicum and consultation you have already completed.
How it works
The instruction from Basic Training, taken again.
The EMDR Basic Refresher is the instructional portion of our EMDRIA-approved EMDR Basic Training, opened to clinicians who have already completed a Basic Training. You rejoin the 20 hours of live didactic content: the history, methodology, and mechanisms of EMDR therapy, the Adaptive Information Processing model, and the full eight-phase protocol from history taking through reevaluation.
You attend alongside the current cohort, in person in Springfield, MO or over Zoom. Your enrollment covers the instructional sessions only: the practicum and consultation components belong to first-time trainees, and the refresher does not repeat them.

What you'll take back to your caseload

- 02
Ground your case conceptualization in the Adaptive Information Processing model and use it to refine treatment planning.
- 03
Integrate EMDR therapy into a holistic therapeutic framework across diverse populations, settings, and presentations such as trauma, phobias, and anxiety.

Prepare clients for EMDR safely: resourcing, stabilization, and managing affective responses in session.
- 05
Return to your caseload with renewed confidence and competence in applying EMDR therapy.

Refresher or the full training?
If you have already completed an EMDR Basic Training, the refresher gives you the instruction again without the components you have already done. That is the whole idea: revisit the theory and the protocol, restore your footing, and get back to using EMDR with clients.
If you have never completed an EMDRIA-approved Basic Training, the refresher is not the doorway. The full EMDR Basic Training is, with practicum and consultation included. See the full EMDR Basic Training. Still comparing programs? We wrote a guide to choosing an EMDR training.
FAQ
Questions clinicians ask about the refresher.
- It is the instructional portion of our EMDRIA-approved EMDR Basic Training, taken again. You sit in on the 20 hours of live didactic content with a scheduled cohort, revisiting Adaptive Information Processing theory and the eight-phase protocol, without repeating the practicum or consultation components from your original training.
- Licensed mental health professionals who have already completed an EMDR Basic Training and want to strengthen their understanding of EMDR therapy, refresh the eight-phase protocol and the AIP model, and rebuild confidence integrating EMDR into their practice.
- No. The refresher covers the instructional content only. Practicum and consultation are part of the full Basic Training for first-time trainees and are not repeated in the refresher.
- You join the instructional sessions of a scheduled EMDR Basic Training cohort. The next cohort runs October 12 to 16, 2026, in Springfield, MO with a Zoom option. Instructional hours run across all five days: Day 1 from 8:00 am to 3:30 pm, Day 2 from 8:00 am to 10:45 am and 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm, Day 3 from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm to 2:15 pm, Day 4 from 8:00 am to 10:30 am, and Day 5 from 8:00 am to 10:30 am.

- The instructional content is credentialed for 20 NBCC hours and 20 MO-NASW hours. Please confirm with your governing agencies which hour types you are able to apply to your continuing education requirements.
- No. If you completed EMDR Basic Training you are already EMDR-trained, and the refresher does not add to or change that status. If you are working toward EMDRIA certification, that pathway runs through consultation and documented clinical work rather than repeated instruction. Curious about the certification pathway? See the EMDR Basic Training page.
