Developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro, this foundational training covers the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, the eight-phase protocol, and the use of bilateral stimulation to help clients process traumatic memories. The training includes lectures, video demonstrations, and hands-on practice in small, supervised groups to ensure participants gain both theoretical understanding and practical skills.
