Conceptualizing the AIP and Maladaptive storage through the tree image and its representation of various aspects of identifying stored trauma is so beneficial. The visual facilitates a greater understanding of key concepts that otherwise can be difficult to explain. Susie Morgan is an amazing trainer with a profound EMDR acumen. Thank you.

Susie's presentation was professional and extremely well organized and painstakingly prepared, possibly more than any other course I have ever taken. The aspects of brain functioning after experiences of trauma were explained in full and the trees presentation was a forceful brain metaphor and helped make sense of what mechanisms occur and the manner they impact thoughts and behaviors and can create problematic symptoms for those who have been unable to resolve their trauma memory networks. The manner in which attachment issues can contribute to the traumatic matter, and the manner in which overlapping memories occur, is crucial for clinicians' awareness when treating clients. So much of the material is easily applicable to my current clients and I look forward to incorporating what I have learned into my trauma informed practice.

I found the way the information was framed to be incredibly useful. The simple and clear explanations provided along with visual aids were great and I have already put them to use. ... New ways to say the same thing I've been saying, except now I'm getting, "Ohhh" instead of "wait, what?".
