Additionally, you are required to complete 10 hours of consultation with a Trauma Recovery/HAP consultant, which is not covered in the above fees.

The training staff at the training you attend are all Trauma Recovery/HAP Consultants and can help you get into a consultation group. Each participant needs to arrange for the consultations on his/her own.

This is a live virtual training using Zoom that provides the opportunity for interaction between the instructor and students during the course. This training is best experienced on a computer via the Zoom website or Zoom Desktop App, but the Zoom Mobile App is another option. On the day of the training, you can join the meeting directly via the link that will be emailed to you, or you can log into your Zoom account, go to invitations, and join.

Additional technical requirements for this live virtual training include:

• Zoom account with the same full name and e-mail address as you used to register for your Trauma Recovery/HAP training.
• Stable internet connection
• Webcam (built-in or USB plug-in) — Per EMDRIA requirements, trainees must have their cameras turned on during Live Virtual EMDR Therapy Basic Trainings so that training faculty can monitor attendance, visual cues, facial expressions, etc.

It is required that all live virtual trainings or distance education programs assess the learning of the participants by administration of a quiz. To receive your attendance confirmation and for those of you who are interested in receiving CEs for completion of this program, you will need to successfully complete and submit the learning assessment with a score of 80% or better. You will have three attempts to retake the assessment if needed. This learning assessment is based on the information from the lectures during your training, as well as the basic text by Francine Shapiro, “Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy: Basic Principles, Protocols, and Procedures,” 3rd edition. Page numbers are provided to assist you to successfully complete the assessment. On the last day of the training you will receive a live link to this assessment, which you will need to successfully complete within 8 days of the completion of the training.

CASE CONSULTATION = 10 Hours

As a requirement of your EMDR Therapy Basic Training, you are required to complete 10 hours of consultation. All consultation must meet the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA) requirements for EMDR Therapy Basic Training and should be provided in developmental increments over the course of the training to allow optimal learning and opportunity for feedback.

You need to use a Trauma Recovery/HAP Consultant for these case consultation hours. Trauma Recovery/HAP Consultants are all EMDRIA Approved Consultants who have gone through additional training with Trauma Recovery/HAP in our training model and protocols and have on-going training with the most recent training materials. The training staff at the trainings you attend are all Trauma Recovery/HAP Consultants and can help you get into a consultation group. Hours completed with consultants not on the Trauma Recovery/HAP Consultant Directory will not be accepted.

You can access the Trauma Recovery/HAP Consultant Directory here.

Training fees do not include case consultation. Consultation fees are generally $25-$50 per hour, for group consultation, paid directly to your consultant. Each participant needs to arrange for the consultations on his/her own. 

Ten (10) hours of case consultation are required beyond practice sessions during training. The recommended schedule to be completed is as follows:

• Five (5) hours case consultation completed after Part 1 training, but before Part 2
• Five (5) hours case consultation completed after Part 2 training

The more you apply what you learn in Part 1 in your clinical practice prior to Part 2, the more you gain from the information to address more complex presentations in Part 2. Consultation is designed to help you with this essential initial practice.

All Trauma Recovery/HAP trainees have ID numbers. You can find your trainee ID number on your registration confirmation email once you register for a training. Trainees will need to provide this number to your consultant during consultation. If you are unable to find your Trainee ID Number please click here to retrieve your Trainee ID number.

GRIEVANCES

Grievances can be sent in writing by email to registration@emdrhap.org and will be handled within 10 business days.

Trauma Recovery, EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Programs (Trauma Recovery/HAP) is fully committed to conducting all activities in strict conformance with all our public facing and internal and accreditation grievance policies. Trauma Recovery/HAP 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 the Education Chair/Continuing Education Director in consultation with the member of the continuing education committee (Trauma Recovery/HAP Training Operations Team), the Trauma Recovery/HAP Ethics Chairperson and the Convention/Conference Chairperson.

While Trauma Recovery/HAP goes to great lengths to assure fair treatment for all participant and attempts to anticipate problems, there will be occasional issues which come to the attention of the conference/convention staff or an officer of Trauma Recovery/HAP. This procedural description serves as a guideline for handling such grievances.

1. When a participant, either orally or in written format, files a grievance or expects action on the complaint, the following actions will be taken. If the grievance concerns a speaker, the content presented by the speaker, or the style of presentation, the individual filing the grievance will be asked to express their comments in written format. The Education Chair/Continuing Education Director will then pass on the comment to the speaker, assuring the confidentiality of the aggrieved individual.
2. If the grievance concerns a workshop offering, its content, level of presentation, or the facilities in which the workshop was offered, the Convention/Conference Chairperson will mediate and will be the final arbitrator. If the participant requests action, the Convention/Conference Chairperson will:

2a) attempt to move the participant to another workshop.

2b) provide a credit for a future workshop or on-demand course equally valued;

2c) or provide a partial or full refund of the workshop fee.

**Actions 2b and 2c require written notes documenting the grievance for record keeping purposes. Either note need not be signed by the aggrieved individual.

3. If the grievance concerns the Trauma Recovery/HAP CE program in a specific regard, the Education Chair/Continuing Education Director will attempt to arbitrate and will engage the Clinical Consultant team and when necessary, the Executive Director. When the grievance is filed by a social worker, the Social Worker Consultant will be involved in the investigation and resolution of all grievance. If further escalation is necessary, the grievance will be sent directly to the Board President.

EMDR uses a model known as Adaptive Information Processing (AIP), in which the brain is equipped to manage and process adversity. Trauma can disrupt this system. Unlike traditional talk therapies, EMDR doesn’t require detailed verbal descriptions of trauma. Instead, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation — such as side-to-side eye movements, alternating tapping and auditory tones — while a patient focuses on a disturbing memory. This bilateral stimulation helps the brain reprocess it, reducing its emotional charge and vividness and linking it to more adaptive information.

EMDR is best known for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but research shows it is effective for many conditions, including anxiety and panic disorders, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, phobias, chronic pain, addictions and more.

It is recognized worldwide as an effective treatment by many organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO), the American Psychological Association (APA), and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

EMDR is a structured, eight-phase treatment approach that guides clients from assessment through healing and integration. These phases work together to transform negative beliefs, reduce distress and restore adaptive functioning.

1. History-taking & treatment planning
2. Preparation (education and coping skills)
3. Assessment (target memory identification)
4. Desensitization (processing with bilateral stimulation)
5. Installation (strengthening positive beliefs)
6. Body scan (resolving residual somatic distress)
7. Closure (stabilization at end of session)
8. Reevaluation (reviewing progress over time)
