EMDR Refresher Courses: Rebuild Your Confidence in EMDR Therapy
Whether you completed Basic Training years ago or just want to sharpen your skills, PTI offers two flexible refresher options — an 8-hour online course or our full 6-day training at a significant discount.
Two Ways to Refresh Your EMDR Skills
Choose the option that fits your schedule, budget, and learning goals. Both are taught by experienced EMDR trainers and include PTI's S.A.F.E. (Somatic and Attachment Focused EMDR) methodology.
6-Day Training Refresher Discounts
Already completed EMDR Basic Training? You're eligible for a discount when you retake the 6-day course through PTI.
PTI Alumni
Completed your original EMDR Basic Training through PTI? You'll receive $400 off any upcoming 6-day training event. No documentation needed — we already have your records.
External EMDR Training Graduates
Completed an EMDRIA-Approved EMDR Basic Training through another provider? You're welcome to join a PTI cohort at $200 off. Just provide your completion certificate when you register.
Who Should Take an EMDR Refresher?
Our refresher options are designed for licensed mental health professionals who have already completed an EMDRIA-Approved Basic Training and want to strengthen their clinical skills.
What You'll Walk Away With
Both refresher options focus on practical, session-ready skills — not just theory.
Renewed Confidence
A clear, structured review of all eight phases so you feel grounded and prepared in every session.
Practical Clinical Tools
Worksheets, practice sheets, and demonstration exercises designed for immediate use with clients.
Strategies for Stuck Processing
Learn how to identify and move past common Phase 3 and Phase 4 challenges, including cognitive interweaves and future templates.
Case Conceptualization Skills
Strengthen your ability to identify appropriate targets — even when clients present with unclear or fragmented trauma histories.
The S.A.F.E. Lens
PTI's Somatic and Attachment Focused EMDR approach adds depth to your clinical framework, with tools for complex presentations.
Continuing Education Credits
Earn CE credits approved by EMDRIA, APA, NBCC, and ASWB — fulfilling professional development requirements while you learn.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our EMDR refresher options.
No. Both refresher options are open to anyone who has completed an EMDRIA-Approved EMDR Basic Training, regardless of the provider. If you completed your training elsewhere and want to retake the 6-day course, just provide your completion certificate to receive the $200 refresher discount.
The 8-hour online refresher is a self-paced course focused on reviewing the EMDR standard protocol with demonstrations and practical tools. It's ideal if you want a focused review on your own schedule. The 6-day training retake is the full live Basic Training experience — including practice sessions, live interaction, and 10 consultation hours. It's best if you want comprehensive, immersive skill-building.
Contact us and let us know you'd like to register for a 6-day training as a refresher. If you're a PTI alumnus, we'll apply your $400 discount automatically. If you trained elsewhere, please share your completion certificate and we'll send a $200 discount code.
The 8-hour online refresher provides 8 CE credits approved by APA, NBCC, EMDRIA, and ASWB. The 6-day training retake provides the full complement of CE credits included with the Basic Training program. No partial credit is available for either option.
S.A.F.E. stands for Somatic and Attachment Focused EMDR. It's PTI's integrative approach that adds somatic awareness and attachment theory to the standard EMDR framework. Both refresher options incorporate the S.A.F.E. lens. Learn more about the S.A.F.E. approach.
The CE credits from the refresher course count toward continuing education requirements. If you're pursuing EMDRIA Certification and want to understand how our offerings support that path, view our Certification Package or contact us for guidance.
