What is AIP? The Adaptive Information Processing model and how to use it in a therapy setting

This video by Paul W. Miller, M.D. explains the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model and how it can be  used within the context of EMDR therapy.

Video Description

“In this video, we dive into the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model and explore how it can be effectively utilised in a therapy setting, specifically within the context of EMDR therapy. If you’re curious about the intricacies of this powerful model and its applications in the field of mental health, you’ve come to the right place!

The Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model is a cornerstone of EMDR therapy, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding and addressing the underlying mechanisms of distressing memories and psychological disorders. In this video, we unravel the mysteries of the AIP model, shedding light on its key components and how they contribute to the therapeutic process.

Join us as we explore the fundamental principles of the AIP model. We discuss how the brain’s innate information processing system, when functioning optimally, promotes adaptive functioning and emotional well-being. We delve into the concept of unprocessed memories and how they can lead to maladaptive beliefs and distressing symptoms, and we explore how EMDR therapy, guided by the AIP model, helps to reprocess and integrate these memories, facilitating healing and the development of more adaptive responses.”
