You’re EMDR Trained.
You’ve Been Practicing...

But you aren't sure EMDR's working as well as it could.

You crave a more structured way to approach tangled histories — so you don’t feel overwhelmed.
You can’t readily see how symptoms are connected to triggers and trauma memory networks —  or how they can be mapped into strategic target sequence plans.
You’re not sure how to meaningfully assess or build readiness - so you worry about jumping in too fast or delaying reprocessing for too long.
You’re unclear how to gather the most important attachment information and how it relates to blocked processing.
You hesitate to dive into using EMDR with clients - because you want to feel confident it will be safe and effective.
These are the challenges challenges that so many EMDR therapists face — because what is provided in Basic Training doesn't always cover what's needed to treat client histories that are anything but basic!


Treating trauma requires a strategic, integrated, personalized framework.

Discover a Clear Roadmap for Using EMDR Therapy


that makes trauma treatment more personalized, safe, and effective

Know the WHY
& the HOW

Practical fluency with the protocol to think clinically, not just rely on a script.

Understand
Readiness

A strategic rubric to assess critical client capacities before reprocessing begins.

Organize Strategically

A clear system for conceptualizing, mapping, and treating complexity.

Integrate
Attachment

A framework to see how attachment history must shape treatment structure.


Learn to apply Francine Shapiro's original protocol with a sense of precision -
using a responsive methodology that adapts to the clients needs.

This Training Isn’t for Everyone — And That’s Okay

This is for YOU if:

You’re hungry for an organized structure for managing complexity.
You want discernment for when to forge ahead and when to proceed with caution - along with clarity as to what is needed.
You need to understand screening for dissociation sufficiently to avoid harm.
You welcome practical tools that make treatment more efficient and effective.
You love seeing moment-by-moment clinical examples of real-life interventions.
You value knowing the reason for each part of the protocol, so it can be personalized without losing potency.

If you’re looking for brief overviews or rigid scripts, this isn’t the right fit. This is for clinicians who want a practical, trauma-informed methodology—precisely shaped for each client's needs.

Precision EMDRTM Basic Training Refresher Course


Designed for Therapists who have completed EMDR Basic Training but sense a need for more, this Refresher Course gives you:

Visual clarity, not abstract theory: Grasp the AIP model, memory networks, and complex symptom presentations through easy-to-understand graphics — no more getting lost in jargon.

Practical attachment-oriented conceptualization: Understand how to assess attachment experiences in a meaningful way and recognize their impact on resolution of trauma memory networks.

Strategic case planning that works: Learn exactly how to assess readiness, plan targets, and adapt your approach for complex developmental trauma cases.

Structured resources for implementation: Use 20+ downloadable PDFs designed to help you organize, apply, and integrate the strategies into your everyday clinical work.

Real-world clinical demonstrations: Watch real session videos that show you what smooth and not-so-smooth application looks like — because real trauma work is rarely perfect.

Optional Refresher-Expanded: Get 6 more hours focused on symptom-focused target sequencing & skills for managing blocked processing, including attachment-oriented resources & interweaves.

Course Description

This self-paced homestudy webinar reviews concepts and skills included in EMDR Basic Training consistent with the guidelines of the EMDR International Association. The training explains the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, which is the theoretical foundation of EMDR therapy, with emphasis on what comprises maladaptive and adaptive information. The components and primary goals for each of the 8 Phases of Standard Protocol are explained, incorporating the 3 Prongs of past memories, present triggers, and templates for potential future triggers. Attention to a client’s identity, race, and culture are taught as essential components of all Phases and Prongs of EMDR therapy. Strategic methods for history gathering and preparation are presented as means of assessing a client’s readiness for trauma memory reprocessing and guarding against risks associated with EMDR therapy. Worksheets are provided for decoding the connections between a client’s symptoms, triggers, and trauma memory networks, as well as for creating comprehensive target sequence plans based on these connections. Standard EMDR Protocol for activating and reprocessing trauma memories with Bilateral Dual Attention Stimulation (BLS/DAS) is described and modeled. Concepts throughout the training are explained via lecture accompanied by detailed slides, which include extensive use of graphics to illustrate key points. Integration of interventions into clinical practice is supported by worksheets, checklists, rubrics, and video demonstrations. The course is focused on adult clients. (Introductory Level)

Learning Objectives

Full attendance of the training is required to receive Continuing Education Credit. Participants are required to pass a post-test to evaluate learning of the program material. The post-test includes 6-8 multiple choice questions per hour/CE credit. A minimum of 75% correct answers, within 3 attempts, is required to pass. At the end of the post-test, participants are required to attest to having attended the training in full and that they are the person who completed the post-test, as well as to identify words embedded throughout the program.  Log in data on the course site is used to verify completion of all program modules.  

As all course materials become immediately available once registration is complete, refunds for the course will generally not be issued.  If you have a grievance and/or believe your concern should be considered as an exception to this refund policy, please follow the below instructions for submitting a grievance.

Precision EMDR Academy reserves the right to refuse anyone participation in a training program whether due to qualification, reputation, behavior, or any other reason at Precision EMDR Academy's prerogative. Precision EMDR Academy also reserves the right to expel a participant from a training at such point that Precision EMDR Academy determines that continued participation would not be in the best interest of that participant, other participants, Precision EMDR Academy, and/or the public. Should Precision EMDR Academy learn that a registered participant in a training program is not in fact qualified to participate, their participation will be refused and/or discontinued. Fees may apply as per the Cancellations policy.

Grievance Policy

It is Precision EMDR Academy’s policy to treat all participants and potential participants with fairness and professionalism, and to strive for excellence in the services we provide. Precision EMDR Academy is fully committed to conducting all activities in strict compliance with the American Psychological Association's Ethical Principles of Psychologists. Precision EMDR Academy will comply with all legal and ethical responsibilities to be non-discriminatory in promotional activities, program content and in the treatment of program participants. The monitoring and assessment of compliance with these standards will be the responsibility of Susanne Morgan, LMFT, Director of Training, in consultation with Colette Lord, PhD, Director of Professional Credentialing;  Danielle Hiestand, PsyD, LMFT, Assistant Director of Professional Credentialing; and Venessa De La Cruz, LCSW, Director of Community Connection.

While Precision EMDR Academy goes to great lengths to assure fair treatment for all participants and attempts to anticipate problems, there will be an occasional issue which requires intervention and/or action by staff. This procedural description serves as a guideline for handling such grievances.

A grievance is defined as any occurrence, situation, or condition that a participant thinks is improper, unfair, unjust, or inequitable. This policy provides participants with the opportunity to express a concern or complaint related to the quality of services. If you feel you have been treated unfairly, unprofessionally, or feel that your rights have been breached, please follow the procedures outlined below. Precision EMDR Academy will not retaliate against anyone for filing a grievance. Resolutions are case specific and may include an attempt to move the participant to another training or consultation cohort, provide a credit for a subsequent training, or provide a partial or full refund of the training fee.

If you have a grievance, the concern may be discussed with a Precision EMDR Academy staff member or the Director of Training. If you are not satisfied, you may proceed to the next step of this grievance procedure by filing a written grievance. You may also file a written grievance without any preliminary discussion if you believe that such discussion would not be appropriate to the situation. Written grievances should be sent to the Director of Training at susie@precisionemdracademy.com. The Director of Training will initiate an investigation and provide an acknowledgment to you within two business days. If you do not receive acknowledgement within two business days, please contact the Director of Training by email or phone at 760-452-2776 to confirm your written grievance has been received. The Director of Training, Assistant Director of Training, Director of Professional Credentialing, Assistant Director of Professional Credentialing, and Director of Community Connection will conduct a review of the matter and make recommendations for its resolution.

If your grievance regards the Director of Training, the written grievance should be submitted to the Director of Community Connection at venessa@hopeunscriptedtherapy.com. If you do not receive acknowledgement within two business days, please contact the Director of Community Connection by email or phone at 480-526-4532 to confirm your written grievance has been received. The Director of Training will be made aware of the grievance. However, to ameliorate any conflict of interest, the review of the matter will be conducted by the Director of Professional Credentialing, Assistant Director of Professional Credentialing, and Director of Community Connection who will make recommendations for its resolution.

Precision EMDR Academy will report the outcome of the grievance investigation to you within 21 business days after the grievance is received. If the grievance investigation cannot be concluded within 21 days, you will be notified and given a new date of up to 45 days, at which time a resolution or determination will be made. If for any reason you are unsatisfied with the results, you may contact the Director of Training (or the Director of Community Connection if the grievance regards the Director of Training) to further discuss the matter. The Director of Training, Director of Professional Credentialing, Assistant Director of Professional Credentialing, and Director of Community Connection will conduct a review of the matter and will respond to you in writing within 21 business days, and this decision and recommendation will be final.
